A childhood belief about periods

When I was younger, I saw a commercial for pads where the woman was at some party and it was like "I was so embarressed because I leaked, I had to go home with a jacket wrapped around my waist." I thought that it ment that the woman had to go to the bathroom..and the line was so long, she accidentally wet herself, and so with the new maxi-pads, she wouldn't have to wait in line!
After I saw that, My dad,mom,my brother and I were at a gas-station and were waiting in line for the one person bathroom..my dad and brother had to pee really bad, and I didn't want them to be embarressed if they wet themselves..so I screamed "Daddy, we should get you some maxi-pads!"

Okay, so yeah..my mom had to have a little chat with me afterwards.
