Paragraph:
Fashion make people do crazy things. Like, girls go around everywhere showing off their piercings. Fifteen years ago, folks was just as willing to show it off. Guys was wearin they pants so low that they underpants showed. A few years before that and girls was puttin’ so much hairspray in they hair that it stuck right up on end. Between that and the blue eye shadow, I don’t know how they ever thought they looked good. You would think that would be the last of it, but no. Now we’ve got boys and girls piercing theyselves everywhere. Have you seen the latest? They put earrings in they eyebrows, like, yeah, even in they foreheads! And if that’s now enough, you got even the pretty girls getting tattoos. Not just hearts on secret places, no now these girls are getting they names written in cursive on they legs and arms! Of course, extensive evidence exists of body piercing by both sexes being practiced worldwide since ancient times in nomadic as well as static cultures. Documentation of ear and nose piercing is well represented in historical records and grave goods going back more than five thousand years. I don’t know what to think. At least in my day the paint wore off! Sure, when I was young I frosted my hair and wore short skirts. But, I never pierced nothin! I sure hope these kids move on to something else before they set all the metal detectors in town off. I don’t know how they get on airplanes. In a 2005 survey of 10,503 people in England over the age of 16, researchers found that 1,049 (approximately 10%) had body piercings in places other than the earlobe. Women aged 16 to 24 were heavily represented in that demographic (46.2%). Oh well. Who knows what they gonna come up with next.
