Thanks again for making me feel queasy so early in the morning.

Last time it was your post about stinky socks. I was eating a salad with pungent blue cheese…

I think you may want to start with Maxipads, and then work your way up to tampons.

Haha! I’m learning lately just how simply their little minds work. I was talking to a girlfriend about my husband’s kidney stone when her little girl overheard and questioned me. “What passed? What did he pass?” I looked quizzically at my friend (a nurse) who just said to her daughter, “a little stone. It’s like a little tiny rock inside of his body.” I had no idea how she was going to respond to that, when she says, “oh. I have one of those. See? right here in my finger. I had a little bump right there, but oh hey look! Now it’s gone.” End of story. Moving on. I guess the best way to explain these things is the quickest and most direct because their brains always take off in another direction anyway.

I, too, am laughing my ass off right now reading this!!! That’s classic!!!! I do love the quick response on your part as to why women bleed–so funny!! Great post!!! It gives me great ideas in case I ever get asked that, which I am sure I will!

OMG Whitney. O. M. G. I am of the opinion that you need to just get a brand new notebook and start chronicling the snot out of your life.

Not sure if that’s the best explanaition of what the bleeding really is, but it’s the best one I could come up with for a 5 year old.
As for Barbetti, if you read my previous post about “What I learned from 16 strangers,” go to the story about the strip club. That’s her story. Hillarious.

Oh my is that classic!!! I am rolling reading that. And thanks for the lesson on what periods are all about. I had no idea what the bleeding really meant.

And wow, that Barbetti has quite the tampon story. Yikes!!!

Classic! Explaining those sorts of things is so difficult sometimes, isn’t it? I exposed my oldest son to sex talk from a very young age and I think by now, he’s 14, he’s more of an expert than most kids. But he probably still doesn’t know much about tampons, I never thought to explain that!
