Today, I saw my crush standing at the bus stop. I did the "I'm talking to someone on the phone thing," trying to be cool. Halfway through the conversation my phone actually rang, I quickly answered but it was my mom on loudspeaker yelling, "Did you bring your tampons?" FML

Today, for the first time in over a year, my mother actually called me. I excitedly picked up the phone. All I heard was rustling; her purse dialed me. FML

Today, I called my mom for the first time in a few weeks, just to chat because I miss her. When she picked up, the first thing she said was, "Why are you calling? What's wrong? Do you have swine flu??" When I told her that I didn't, and I just wanted to chat, she hung up. FML

Today, I was secretly listening to a voicemail from my mom in maths class when I accidentally hit the speaker phone button. My whole math class now knows I have a gyno appointment at 9:45 on March 11. FML

Today, I called my mom to ask for some help with my dishwasher. Somehow, the call got turned into a video call. I was wearing a bathrobe, and she was naked in her bathroom. Most awkward call ever. FML

Today, I was talking on the phone to my crush so I went into the bathroom for some privacy. My drunk mother started banging on the door, asking what I was doing in there. I told her that I was on the phone, so she yelled super loud, "While you're shitting?" He immediately hung up. FML

Today, my parents left for work before I had to leave for school and I decided to skip. I stayed by the phone, expecting the school to call so I could pose as my parent and excuse my absence. The phone rings and I pick up. It's my Mom, calling to leave my dad a message on the machine. FML

Why is this something to be excited about? You get to put a huge cloth up your ****** once a month. You don't that period in order for you to be a woman.

At least you and your mom are close enough that you feel comfortable sharing that. Think of all the girls out there who don't have good relationships with their mothers, or don't even have mothers.

I got mine in 5th grade when my brother was having a sleep over. I remember calling my mom into my bathroom because I didn't know what to do and she wouldn't come. So I started crying and had to announce in front of all his friends that I got my period. They then told everyone at school.

I got mine when I was in 5th grade when my brother was having a sleep over party. I remember calling my mom into the bathroom and she would not come. I then started crying and had to announce in front of all of them why I needed her. They told everyone at school and made fun of me the rest of the night.

I don't know anyone who's excited over a period unless they are hoping not to be pregnant and I wouldn't call my mom if that was the case.

..Why would you be excited about bleeding every month? I was kind of pissed the day I got mine for the first time.

Hahah, at least you don't live with my mom. When I got my first period at 14, she cried, then called all of our family and family friends to share the 'happy developmental news!'

lmao congrats! it's not FML material though, i mean sorta akward that it was broadcasted throughout your mother's work place... but it's not like you're ever going to see these people and if they're females - hey they get their periods too!
