One thing that many parents "just don't understand" is why their kids would get a tongue piercing. Luckily, that's not something Will Smith has to worry about just yet, as his daughter Willow has apologized for posting a photo on Instagram that made it seem like she had gotten her tongue pierced. Looks like we've all been punk'd.

The 11-year-old "Whip My Hair" singer received instant criticism from fans and the media after posting a pic on June 23 in which she and a friend appear to show off their wild piercings. But Willow has since issued an apology, writing, "It's fake...Sorry." A source says that the so-called "piercing" is actually just a magnet. Oops.

It turns out that being a tween kids of two multi-millionaire celebrities doesn't mean you don't have time for a good prank.
