Time Machine Tuesday
lol...I had to laugh at my own title. I wrestled with myself on putting something even more corny, but toned it down a bit.
Yesterday, the hubby and I were talking about embarrassing times in our life and I told him about this day. I was in middle school around 13. It just so happened my classmates and I the week before all had to watch that super embarrassing video about "blossoming," did you all have to watch that? So when I started getting crampy that day at school I was sure what was coming. Unlike some girls though, I was really upset. I did not want this! I wanted to be carefree, and did not want to grow up! Resistance was futile though and so off to the girls room I went. Because of that super awesome video I knew I needed supplies but they, and my mother, kinda neglected to tell me how to use them. After paying around 5 dollars in nickels for a bunch of tampons and pads I attempted to use these new womanly items. Only one problem-these things were antiquated. They were the super cheap kind-and after opening one tampon-well lets just say I took one look at that and thought it looked like some kind of ancient torture device and decided to pass. So to make it short, after spending a whole class crying in the bathroom and trying to figure out the exact position of a pad-I ended up stacking a few of them, one on top of the other-to make sure I had good coverage. So basically, I should probably get credit for inventing the first overnight, super long pads....but after nicely written letters to several companies I haven't received any checks yet. :)

This is HILARIOUS! I remember the first time I saw a tampon I thought the same thing. WHAT THE HECK was that thing and where in the world was that going to go... : )
You are brilliant though for your invention. I hope the companies do decide to pass along their fortune to you. : )
Oh you poor thing! I can remember wearing pads and having my girlfriend watch me walk down the hall to make sure it didn't look like I was wearing a diaper...lol! I did the same for her!
Lol!! OMG! I think I blocked the day I became a "woman" out of my mind because I don't remember a thing ;o) However, I do remember helping my sister out when it was her turn!
Oh my goodness! The day I "became a woman", I thought I had a potty accident in my pants because the blood was not red like I expected. Several of my friends had the same thing happen, but as I had prepared them for that, they knew what was going on. I guess that is another thing those movies neglect to mention, that the blood isn't always bright red like from a cut. I made sure to tell my daughters (at least the two who are old enough, haven't told the baby yet).
