ooh ooh! i have one for ya.
it's long but worth it.
i was in the grocery store (on my period of course) when my little sister tells me that my new yellow shorts that made my legs look long and tan were bleeding. i scrambled into the bathroom, checked out the door, slipped my shorts off, and started scrubbing them in the sink. a gaggle of freshman/sophomore in high school girls chose then to walk in and saw quite the sight of me, standing in almost completely red-in-the-back underwear, scrubbing equally red-in-the-back shorts in a public sink. one of them said, "uhh, tampon much?" and they walked out laughing. i went into a stall and dried them best as i could. the scrubbing didn't do anything but make them damp.
i stepped outside, hands casually behind my back, and my mom comes up behind me and says, way too loudly, in front of all the cute guy cashiers and like the entire world, "oh, honey, do you need a tampon?" i blushed furiously, nodding. the guys snickered. a lady offered me a pad and i went into the ladies room and changed, walking out to a small group of women who had heard about the little girl getting her period in a grocery store. they asked me "are you alright? don't worry, it's a natural thing. don't be embarassed." one even pinched my cheeks, which hurt really badly. i squeezed through and ran to the car, crying the whole way.
oh dear. always be prepared, my friend.
hope you got a laugh or two. (:
