Simone thought a tongue piercing might be a cool thing to get. There is something secretive and beguiling about a piercing, hidden in a mouth. It was a project Simone considered for a long, long time, similar to getting her belly button pierced.
Here's the thing though: Simone is a BIG chicken and has an unearthly fear of needles. So as attractive as she found belly piercings, as much as she wanted one for herself, she would still be belly button whole had her husband not scheduled a piercing appointment for Simone.
And the belly button piercing pleases Simone immensely. Especially now, three years later, that the pain has stopped altogether.
"So get your tongue pierced," hubby tried to encourage Simone. "I hear that aside from the initial swelling of the tongue, it heals very quickly."
"Hmm," Simone replied dubiously. "So that means that instead of two years of pain, I can look forward to six months?"
"Maybe less," hubby grinned.
Not convinced, Simone tried to turtle her tongue in her mouth, protecting it behind a barrier of razor sharp incisors. "It's gonna hurt and I won't be able to eat anything," she moaned. Her words didn't come out very clearly but hubby proved to have unusual insight into the mind of his wife.
"I'll buy you some yummy fruit freezies," he offered.
"Ugh," Simone quaked inside.
Ugh indeed.
That tongue may never get pierced...

The only thing certain about the word "may" and how it applies to Simone's tongue is that it fits perfectly between the months of April and June...
..and I'll probably see it after she reads this comment.
Simone's tongue is going on holiday. The tongue is going south to visit the stomach. Please refrain from sending the tongue any communication during this difficult, possibly indefinite period.
We thank you for your understanding and patience.
poor tongue...me thinks it will be ok either way
