Once when I was about eight or nine I was supposed to go to a winter camp in Brownies. On the packing list they included ''Pads and Tampons''. Our Brownie teacher said, ''Oh don't worry about those. That's for the Pathfinders (the older Girl Guides).''
I didn't know what pads and tampons were so I ran around telling EVERYONE, ''Oh, on my camp list they included pads and tampons but we don't need those! Isn't that dumb?''
My mom shushed me after that.
