This thread has just cracked me up, brought back memories and now I have to share my story!

I remember when I was 12 and in the bathroom discovering my very first period, that I yelled "MOMMMMMM" through the door. Well, she must have recognized the fear in my voice because all of a sudden, the door opened up, and there was a box with my mom's hand attached to it. That was all I saw. She never looked at me or said a word.

It was a Kotex starter kit(belt and all for those of you old enough to remember that awful invention!!)..

And I sat there and read the directions! Gosh, I miss my mom.
