Boy, 12, Begs Mom for Ear Piercings and Diamond Earrings, Schools Her on the Bill of Rights When She Says No

• A video of a 12-year-old boy trying to convince his mom to allow him ear piercings has been circulating online
• The footage shows the child explaining why he wants the piercings before mentioning that he has the right to his own body
• The defeated mom said she'd only allow such when he turns 16, and Mzansi peeps were left amused by the family feud

One 12-year-old boy adamant about keeping up with the latest trends has his mother stressed.

The mom @BossMatriach took to Twitter to post a video of her son begging, before going to demand, ear piercings and diamond earrings.

In the clip, the boy explains that he has been asking for the piercings for two years. He talks about how the young rapper from the Young Dylan Show has earrings and would like to get a pair too.

The unimpressed mother says that she won't allow that and that she explained to him that he wouldn't get any piercings before the age of 16.

The determined boy then responds that he has control over his body and that the South African Bill of Rights supports his stance to get earrings.

The defeated mom captioned the tweet:

"Maaaaaaye! Yaqala inkathazo. Bathe bafuna nokuluka ama braids amancane this week. I'm in hell.. (Oh my now the trouble begins. They also asked to do the small braids this week. I'm in hell)."

South African social media users found the mother-son conversation amusing as they responded with funny comments to the post. Others advised @BossMatriach to get magnetic or cuff-on earrings for her son as a compromise.
