Longing For Pretty Earrings At The Mall

The three pretty young girls had been looking at prom dresses all afternoon. They found gowns that were too revealing. They knew their parents wouldn’t pay for a dress if it didn’t cover them more than that. Dressing like a playboy model wasn’t something they could get away with.

They stood in front of the swarovski earrings and picked out what they liked. There was a green pair that were long with oblong emerald stones and white smaller stones at the level of the earlobe. Traci thought they would be perfect with one of the dresses she had tried on earlier.

She said she saw a girl wearing a pair almost like that at a formal dinner she attended. Both of her friends liked them too. The ones that had white pave stones would match anything and were just as pretty.

They laughed and said earrings should always come in threes instead of twos. How often do you lose one of them they wondered. They all agreed that each had lost many earrings even though they were only seventeen.

Now they thought if they each bought identical pairs, they would each lose only one and could take an extra from one another to make a pair. They couldn’t lose more than one each. That left at least one matching pair.

They moved to the next display case to look over rhodium earrings. Traci looked back longingly at the pair of swarovski desert glow earrings. Wish I had over a hundred dollars to spend on earrings she thought.

Their dresses might cost enough to break the budget as it was. Baby sitting money would cover shoes and accessories but not a hundred dollar pair of earrings.

After admiring all the earrings in the store, they agreed that someday they would all have jewels. They strolled out to the food court. Sitting down with cold sodas they gave their attention over to a discussion about how to get rid of acne.

They decided to stop worrying about pimples and bought a plate of nachos to share. Traci had a date with a football player for the prom. The other girls had been asked but had not decided yet who to go with. If they didn’t get an invite from a boy they liked, they would go with each other.

A lot of kids were doing that these days. It was like a rejection of the old traditions. It was like dressing Emo or Goth. Rejecting the parental opinion of what is correct behavior has been a requirement for being a teenager since the beginning of modern culture.
