One night I was talking to my boyfriend on the phone and we somehow got on the subject of periods. He then asked me where to put a tampon. I thought he was being sarcastic so I asked him "where do you think they go?" He then said "Well, do they just lay there?" I had to be the first one to explain to him that no, they don't just lay there and also that you take Midol like a tylenol--he thought you just put it up there
