    - 7 years old, wanted my ears pierced, parents said no - I asked for their core objection (“Girls your age don’t have pierced ears”) - Proposed a bet with them that >1/2 the girls in my class were pierced - Went around class collecting data to prove I was right - Got piercedhttps://twitter.com/KEBrightbill/status/1098106429628694528 …

        Did I tell you that in 7th grade, I launched a campaign to get everyone to stop saying "Kill two birds with one stone" and instead switch to my suggested, "Feed two birds from one feeder" ?

        Or maybe: - Was prosecution in 5th grade mock trial - Started out: "To be fair, the defense has some good points, e.g..." - Meant to transition to rebuttal, but got caught up in it - Ran out of time, had to sit down - Classmates thought I literally forgot which side I was on

        Can't in good conscience "like" you getting your ears pierced at seven, but how you handled it was awesome. I can only offer this GIF, which is the top result when you search for "assent."pic.twitter.com/utVQf3LVSr
