Anxiety
I paced more nervously than I can remember. Back and forth looking at bright colored baubles for adolescent girls. I took a deep breath waiting for the inevitable. Wishing it was over and we were in the car on the way home.
Then the inevitable came.
A shrill screaming cry that leads to a cough and more crying. And almost as soon as it began it was over.
Definite relief.
I paid the woman and got the bag containing the proper care products. Then I took my grandaughter from her mother and told her it was okay while examining the tiny stainless steel post in each of her tiny ears.
