I was home with my dad when I got my first period. I was in his room (I played there during the day), and he walked by the door and saw me; I think I was crying, because I was nervous, even though I knew what was going on. I had used one of my mom's big, bulky pads, LOL! He asked me if I'd started my period, and I said yes, but I didn't know how he figured it out. Years later, I found out my mom had told him I had been spotting for a few months before...I never knew that!
