when i was about 8, i used 2 drink a lot of cherry lemonade and cherry cola. when i saw something red in my pee after drinking one of them, i thought it was the cherry in the drink. after not drinking them, i stopped "peeing red". then when i was about 10, my mother told me about periods. it all made sense after that. to this day, i laugh about what i thought when i was 8 everytime i get it.
