A childhood belief about periods

(at age 10)
I was at school eating lunch & I thought I had a tiny leak..Well, it turns out it was me starting my period.When I went to the bathroom w/my friend,Erica,and went into the stall and checked my pants it was all brown and I thought it was poo.I screamed for Erica,I opened the stall door and told her to get my math teacher ,Mrs.Lafavers.When she came , she talked to me cause I was crying and she got the nurse.The nurse came and wrapped a towel around me.I tried to call my Granny but she was at the doctor so my cousin brittney came and picked me up.She laughed with me,not at me,about it all the way to her house.I cant beleive I thought it was poo....
