I used to believe…
a few months ago i was babysitting a young girl. i had set my purse down and had gone off to make the dinner for a moment. when i came back she asked me "what are these?" and had taken out my sanitary napkins and was examining them closely. i didn't know what to do, and i didn't think it was right for me to give her the birds-and-bees talk without her parents consent, so i told her they were surprises. she took this to mean that they were wrapped gifts. after all, they were wrapped in pink paper! i have never seen a kid so dissappointed when i told her she couldn't open them.
