It goes to show just how mainstream earrings for boys and men have become.
It's perfectly natural if boys to want to go to the mall and have their lobes marked up and done like their friends have.
It's perfectly natural for dads as well.
Looking after the holes is important.
But while your wife will rightly be proud of her men, it's a case of welcome to innocent, unremarkable, mainstream fun for all the family.
