One time when i was about 9 or 10 i was at my friend's house, and somehow we got onto the topic of periods. My friend said, "My mom got hers the other day, and there were bloody towels in the sink." Then i said, "That's impossible. You stop getting your period after you have babies. Your perioad makes it so you can make babies, so once that's done, so is your period!" My friend believed me and went, "My mom must'va had a nosebleed or something."
