and the reason is just absurd.  

SD pierced her tongue because Beaver would let her get another nose piercing or her eye brow pierced. SD just wanted another piercing so Beaver said ok to the tongue because you can't see it. 

OH LORD THESE PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS.  Another nose piercing or a eye brow would be way better than ruining her teeth.

SD is also now all gung ho on getting her license to drive. That's great and all but she expected DH to take off work to take her to the BMV.  DH told her NO..he wouldn't be able to take off work just because she decided NOW she wants her license.  He pointed out she had all of spring break and 6 weeks while he was unemployed to do this. Just because she got a bee in her bonnet now..doesn't mean he would move heaven and earth to get it done.

WE have progress people.....we have progress...
