Emma turned 18 yesterday and celebrated by getting "Love is all you need" tattooed in script under her right arm, winning $10 on lottery tickets she purchased herself, and getting her ears pierced.
All things she can do on her own now that she is a "legal" adult.
I repeatedly cautioned her about the tattoo. Even to the point of her accepting that her hypothalamus will not be developed until she is 25. She would not be dissuaded.
Today she opened a checking account and that made her feel the weight of adulthood more than any tattoo, lottery ticket, or earrings ever could.
