One day, I had my friend from school over. We were about 7, I think. We were playing dolls in my room when out of the blue, she asked me: "Have you had your period yet?"
Being the somewhat bodily uneducated child that I was, I said "What's that?"
She answered "I think it's where girls bleed every once in a while."
The conversation went as following:
Me: "Oh, I've never heard of that."
Her: "Me neither. I just heard about it today."
Me: "Maybe not every girl has one."
Her: "Yeah, I think you're right."
We went on playing.
I know better know. XD
