You'd think the world was coming to an end in our house.
Edited on Tue Nov-21-06 10:08 PM by QMPMom
My DS got his first tattoo today. He's almost 19 and he has planned this for years and today was the big day. Well, his sister, who is 20 but mentally handicapped, is hysterical. She thinks her brother has been mutilated and hurt. Poor kid. We've tried and tried to explain to her that it's just a picture, but she's having none of it. To her he is maimed for life and she just can't deal with it.

Her weeping has been going on for three hours and she just can't stop for more than 10 minutes.

It's going to be a long, long night.

1. Awww.
Poor thing - she must be mortified. I'm sorry - for all of you. :hug:

3. Thanks. We've been talking and hugging and talking some more.
She's calm for the moment.

4. Thanks. DS has promised her that he will get her some temporary
tattoos tomorrow. She is obsessing on the photos on the front page of the newspaper right now.
