When I was in fourth grade, the fifth graders were all hyped from the big HEALTH CLASS. I had some friends, and I asked what was so funny. They said they were learning about periods. I thought of the punctuation. I guessed it was slang for some really horrible sex term, and was all, "okay"... Asked my mom when I got home, and I was absolutely horrified. And the fourth grade accidentally got the sex ed permission slips for the fifth grade. We were all like GOD HELP US TAMPONS BE THE WORST THING EVER!
