Tried the pliers, the kids have ones for crafts, no luck. Oh well, she's with wife now and I said that maybe some of the ladies at the BBQ that wife is taking them to tonight will have some ideas. I told her if it doesn't come off (she also has a small stud earring that apparently she hasn't been able to get off for months) I'll take her to the doctor and he can cut the earrings off. D says she's had it with pierced ears! We tried vasaline too, no luck. I googled this problem and somebody mentioned that her Mom took pliers and crushed the backing and it came off. I'd be scared of making the back sharp when you crush it and if it don't come off...not good.
