A childhood belief about periods

Well, here is the story. Very funny, not to me or Mary.

Okay, I was 11 at the time, my friend Mary was 24. We were out camping. So, we were riding around on the ATV, when she had to go to the bathroom. Suddenly, well, here is the conversation.

Her: Okay, Lexi, I have to go to the bathroom! Back in a second!

Me: Okay. Don't take too long-I'll ditch you!

Her: (In the bathroom) (Suddenly) OH SH*T SH*T SH*T SH*T!!!!!
(This repeated for a while)

Me: Sara- you okay?????????

Sara: SH*T! I just got my period!!!

Me: (I thought she said FORgot, not GOT) What? I thought you said you had to go to the bathroom! You didn't say you were writing a story!!!!! Geez, I was waiting forever-and here you are, writing a story.

...

Figure it out. She still reminds me of that day. Every waking moment. And then I tell her at least I haven't gotten my period yet! Then we burst out laughing.
