A childhood belief about periods

i was about 10 when i was going across the country with my dad on a grey-hound bus, i went into the bathroom. they had those wet hand cleaner thingys. i thought they were "sanitary napkins" i got so excited about finding them, and i came out of the bathroom yelling, "daddy, daddy, i have sanitary napkins" dad turned beet red, and everyone laughed. it took me forever to figure out why!
