When I was about 13, I got my period. I knew that if people lost a lot of blood they would die. One day, while on my period, I got a cut on my arm. Feeling frustrated, I murmured to myself "This can't be happening! If lose any more blood I'll die!" As you can probably tell, I'm not a brunette nor a redhead...I'll let you figure out the rest ;)
