When I was 5 or so I found a dirty tampon somewhere. I asked an older friend what it was and she replied simply "a tampon". i didnt want to seem stupid so i didnt ask what it was for. I then decided it was for bloody noses and was convinced that you stuck them up your nose when it bled. Imagine my moms suprise when i came up to her with a bloody nose and asked for a tampon.
