RAD and food, fake hurts?

My first thought with the ear issue at school was that yes, it was the triangulation routine-- they are exceptionally good at making you look like an uncaring creep when they just need your help...hence the poor me with the teacher. My kid is only six and I've gotten it multiple times with school teachers, Sunday School teachers, etc. It only stops when the consequence is worse than the "benefit" of all the sympathy and pleasure of making you look like you don't care about your child. And losing the earrings appears to have done it for your child. It's always a risk/benefit sorta calculation for them. I think your response was excellent, and great quick thinking. And no, unless infected (and that would be obvious) the ear should no longer hurt. I had mine done at 20 so I have perfect memory and it wasn't painful for more than a few hours. Not four DAYS!
