My most embarrassing moment was when I got my first period. I "matured" early and got my period in fifth grade. My mother came to school with me to whisper to my teacher about it (which was mortifying enough!). But worse was that our desks were in clusters, and I was in a cluster of all girls, and one day I came to school carrying a purse. NOBODY carried purses in 5th grade. They all started hounding me about what the purse was for, and I turned beet red and wouldn't answer ... so when I went up to the teacher's desk to ask a question, while my back was to them, one of them went in my desk and looked in the purse!!!

I couldn't have been more horrified to come back to my desk and have five 10-year-old girls telling me, "It's OK Candy, it's nothing to be embarrassed about."

To this day, I talk to one of those girls, and I have never let her forget that! I have never been so humiliated!

That wasn't lack of knowledge either, I guess, sorry! LOL
