One night after watching the Cosby Show, one of Rudy's friends explained to her that crossing your eyes would stop your period! Being the dumbass that I am- I believed it! So I sat for two hours on my bed, with my eyes crossed, and realized it wasn't working. My vision was blurry for the next 25mins.
A childhood belief about periods
