I used to believe that a period was when you got cut on your leg,cuz I saw my sisters pants in the laundry basket with blood around the thighs,and me being nosy me,heard them sitting down to the "period talk".So one day while riding my two wheeler in a very strange way,(I was 4 and just learned to ride a two-wheeler)My friend,who happened to be a boy,fell off his bike and scraped his knee badly.Then I laughed to myself.I wanted to be grown-up!So I rid my bike into a brick wall.Ouch.So my mum wouldn't let me ride for a week.Then I found a case of tampons and started putting them on my ankle,where the scrape was.My dad walked in,and started laughing at me.
I had no idea why until age 9,when my older friend told me.Then,a year later,"it" happened.
