Hey Dad, I just got my ear pierced, and I was wondering, can I wear headphones with the new piercing?
Well, kiddo, as much as I love tech, when it comes to fresh piercings, you might want to give it some time to heal first. I mean, you don't want to risk any infection or irritation, right?
Makes sense, Dad. How long should I wait before I can start using headphones again?
You should probably give it at least a few weeks just to be on the safe side. Trust me, I've handled more delicate tech than this, and patience always pays off.
Got it, I'll wait. But what about earbuds? Are they any different?
Earbuds can also put pressure on your new piercing, so I'd treat them the same as over-ear headphones. Why not use this as an opportunity to enjoy some peace and quiet? Who knows, it might even give you some more time to, say, tell me about this Peter you've been hanging out with so much.
Ha, nice try, Dad. I'll keep the peace and quiet part in mind. Thanks for the advice!
Anytime, champ. And about Peter, just remember, I've got my eye on you two. But seriously, take care of that ear and let me know if you need anything.
Will do, Dad. And don't worry, I'll fill you in about Peter soon.
Looking forward to it. And hey, once you're all healed up, I'll help you pick out some Stark-approved headphones. Deal?
