Maybe you can't say it out loud, but you can wear these earrings and hope they can read!

Inspired by my two wonderful boys, these fun earrings (one of my most popular) are a great way to add levity to your day. When my kids whine, I simply point to the earrings. We usually all get a chuckle.

The stylized symbol is embedded in resin atop a 3/4" round metal finding. The ear wires are sterling silver. Great gift for teachers, bus drivers, coaches, etc.

Additional photos show packaging and similiar earring (same size/shape) worn.

Pendants are water resistant but not waterproof. Wearing in pool or shower not recommended.
