Period’s aren’t just punctuation

December 8th, 2008

We have only one bathroom.  It sucks.  But we live in an older home that was built in 1962. It has a certain charm, but the one bathroom part just isn’t part of the charming character.

Tonight I was peeing while my 7 year old daughter Addison was brushing her teeth.

Addie:  “Mommy why are you wearing a diaper in your panties?”

Me:  ” heehee it’s not a diaper”

Addie:  ” well it looks like a diaper what the heck is it?”

Addie again: “mommy…why is there pink on your paper towel?”

Me:  “You mean toilet paper?”

Addison : “well yeah”

Me (completely caught off guard): “well it is something that happens to grown up girls.  It’s called a period”

Addie:”….”

Me ( in my head) :  ” she thinks I am talking about a dot…she thinks I am referring to punctuation. Oh jeez”

Oh and I was right

Addie: “a period?…like at the end of a sentence?”

Me: ” it’s actually called a menstrual cycle.  It’s something God gave women so we can have babies”

Addie: “YOU”RE HAVING ANOTHER BABY?   I don’t think I can handle it!”

Seriously that’s what she said….

Me:” no I am not having another baby….not for a couple of years”

Apparently when we had Alivia, Addison’s whole world turned upside down.  And now she thinks I have punctuation in my panties.  I am probably gonna hear from the school counselor on that one.
