One time, when I still used to go to public loos with my mum, she had her periods. I didn't see her pad, but only saw the red liquid in the loo. I thought this was because she had ate too much strawberries, and because strawberries used to be (and still is) my favourite fruit, I shouted at my mum for eating strawberries without my knowing.
