my son around 4yrs old believed that everyone got their periods. once i took him to the dr and he had secretly put on one of my moms pads. when the dr checked him down there, he asked me why he was wearing it. my son was giggling so hard. the dr was angry cause he thought i had done incase my son had an accident. while i was trying to explain i didnt know, my son was still giggling.
he hates when i tell that story now.
