I'm a little disappointed today. One of the most exciting moments in a girl's life came and went today, unceremoniously. What happened, you may ask?
Well, Becky got her period, that's what. She called me into the bathroom five minutes before the bus is due and tells me that there's blood. I look. Sure enough, there was blood. So, we go through the whole this-is-how-you-wear-these-things thing, and she gets dressed and flies out the door. I'm left holding the backing from a sanitary napkin in my hand, and a single tear in my eye.
How pitiful is that?
I'm sure her friends at school are reaping the rewards of her excitement, while I sit here at home feeling somewhat deprived of a right of passage. Ah well, who am I to complain? I'm just the MOM. The one that nurtures her and protects her. The one that would lay her life down for her.
Eh, it's OK.
*sniff*

I remember those days...glad they are over...lol.
Congrats to Becky at least I think Congrats are in order...lol
Oh my.
If it helps, the thing I remember most about getting my period is that I told my mom right away and she "fixed it," as in she made it seem everyday okay, instead of the "Oh no! I'm bleeding to death!" that it could have been.
