A childhood belief about periods

When I was little, about 7, I was rooting through my mom's purse while we were driving someplace, and I pulled out a tampon. Of course being 7 I didn't use them yet, or even know about them so I asked what they were and she told me that it was a bandaid... so the next week, my friend came over to my house and we were playing and we got cut, cause kids play rough, so we went up to my mom's room and grabbed 2 tampons and started trying to use them as bandaids, till my mom found us, and after she died laughing she drove my friend home and explained it all to me.
