i remember when i was about 9 and my puppy had her period, and i asked my mom "why is there blood all over the floor?" and she told me that ginger was losing teeth. then, at my thirteenth birthday, i asked my mom "can dogs get periods?" (i know random) and she told me "yes remeber when ginger had hers" and i screamed loud enough for everybody to hear, no lie, "ginger got her period? you told me she was losing teeth!" it is still i assume a humorous topic.

When I was young I thought your periods started when you had sex, and I also thought no one had sex before getting married.
I used to shudder as I imagined myself buying my first box of tampons after my honeymoon and wondered why women wanted sex at all if their periods started after!

When I was little I learned that if you ate too many beets, your pee would turn red. So I thought that when girls grew up, they would suddenly have a craving for beets (my mum loves beets) every month and lose bladder control.
I also though that pads were adult diapers, and tampons were for periods. I also thought you wear a tampon horizontally.

When i was little (about 7-8) I saw a lady get a tampon out of the tampon dispencer in the womands restroom. She put it in her purse and walked away.

A few minutes later I asked my mom for 25 cents so i could buy a lollipop. She was floored when i came back with a tampon in my hand asking for her to help me get the lolipop out of the applicator.

I used to think that when you got your period blue liquid would come out because in the commericial 'absorbancy tests' they'd pour blue liquid on the pads

When I was in ninth grade one of the boys in my group of friends happened to notice that there, what would seem perfectly logical to him, was a candy machine in the girls bathroom, seeing this as highly unfair I told him that if he gave me a quarter I would buy him one. He ended up opening it in class and embarrassing himself.

When I was 11 years old, I thought that because my mom got her first period when she was 11 1/2 I would too. So on the EXACT day I turned 11 1/2 I celebrated and waited all day for my period to start. It didn't come until 2 1/2 years later. For some reason I thought it was going to be precise.

When I was younger I watched a television show where a girl got her period. I was watching with my older brother, so I asked him what a period was. He looked really uncomfortable and pretended like he didn't hear me. After a bit of thinking, I finally decided that a period was when a girl got boobs. Like, one day, all at once, a pair of boobs would just sprout up! And each month, around the same time, the boobs would grow just a little bit bigger until you were old and then they stopped growing and you didn't have your period anymore. I was very disappointed when I found out what a period really was years later.

I used to think that pads were for peeing, thats why my mother never went as regularly as me and my dad.

Some time after I started my period, I started carrying a pad in my purse. Some girls went through it during gym one day found it, and started telling people that I wasn't a virgin. They apparently thought that virgins didn't have a period.

I used to believe that the amount of blood excreted was a great deal more than it is in reality.

When I was little, I saw some commercials for tampons and it showed how they expand when they are inside the vagina....
well I thought that a tampon was a way to lose weight and that you had to swallow it and it expanded in your stomach to make you feel full so you would not have to eat!

My cousin got into my purse and found pads and asked if she could have one. I told her "stop! put those away! and stop playing around!" (I thought she knew what a period was shes 10) Then she asked "what is this any way? Is this sticker?" I later asked her if she knew what a period was and she said she thought it had to do with her armpits.
