Acres of skin to work on yet! Guess your girls' rebellion will be to avoid all tattooing.

As a wordsmith yourself, you must allow a smidgen of hyperbole.

Hi Jane-A wonderful post...thanks for sharing. My act of rebellion was beginning to smoke cigarettes (not pot) as a teenager...it was an exceedingly dangerous choice, but I did enjoy it! Ron

I too had rebellion express itself in tattoo form. I got one on the back of a shoulder while I was at Swat. This and not applying to 7 year med programs were my only pathetic attempts at rebellion. The tattoo did not come out very well it looks muddier every year, but I still do not regret it. I do in a sense wish that I had more rebellious moments while growing up, but given that my parents both passed early, I am glad that I did not give them more heartburn despite my rebellious temperament. They had it easy. I was the trouble-maker child in my family.
