We had a pharmacy “warehouse” go out of business near us. As part of their clearance sale, they were selling nail polish at 50 cents a bottle. We bought a bunch and shipped it to my sister in law who had two daughters aged 11 and 12 at the time.
She called us up. “The nail polish was a hit. Two girls, ten fingers and ten toes each. Forty different shades of nail polish.”
So many memories. And since CB/Peanuts does well at chronicling events as they happen I remember when my mother, aunts, sisters and neighbours where going crazy for pierced ears. The a stud that was shot in with a gun, only one per ear. I did mine (being a guy) in the mid 80’s, only for a day, then that was enough. Now it is crazy.
It’s interesting how Patty’s personality tempers Lucy’s. I’m really enjoying their interactions. Schultz had a sense for character development, even when they were supposed to be caricatures.

Of course now with people getting multiple piercings that might make sense…

What happened to Marci? She would have made it 6 ears with her 2 ears.

Girls, just wait till belly piercing become a ‘fad’. Will ;you then have a ‘cold belly-button’ to go with your cold feet?

I’ve seen people with more than one hole in each ear.

Patty & Lucy better have good jobs & save money for the plastic surgeon when they turn about 65-70 yrs old.

What if they alternated arms for the 2 dose Pfizer or Moderna COVID vaccine?

I think the blood curdling scream that comes out of the office of the one who goes first, will put a stop to how many ears get done.

It’s interesting to see these two alpha females interacting like this.
