Tattoo Quickly Regretted

It didn't take long for Kristy Boosenbocker, 18, of Duluth, Minnesota, to regret her new tattoo. Within two hours of the original inking, Boosenbocker became aware of the faint but distinct pang of misgivings; and by the time she woke up the next morning, she was having full-blown second thoughts.

While continuing to defend her decision to her parents and friends, Boosenbocker privately reflected that she likely would not want a picture of a butterfly and rose on her lower back when she was older and ready to leave her foolish teenage years behind her. "What if it's visible through my wedding dress?!?", she gasped inwardly in horror. "What if I want to look respectable and presentable someday?"

Boosenbocker's parents, Reg and Milly Boosenbocker, were not very surprised by their daughter's latest stunt. "She's been maintaining a state of open rebellion for years," sighed Mr. Boosenbocker. "If she doesn't care what we think, as she always makes sure to remind us, why does she go out of her way to provoke our ire? It is most illogical." Mrs. Boosenbocker concurred, lamenting that, "our daughter has never been a good kid. But at least she had, until now, left her own body out of her shenanigans and tomfoolery."

Upon hearing that her parents were so confounded by her new body art, Kristy began to feel much better about the way her Saturday night ended up.
