School and Kids: Wrong end of the stick

Wrong end of the stick

By anonymous - 09/04/2009 04:53 - United States

Today, while teaching my kindergarten class, I had a feeling I was starting my period again. A boy in the class asked me what a period was. Stressing over my own, I briefly told him it's a woman's time of the month when they have mood swings. He was asking about the dot at the end of a sentence. FML

Today, I got my period at school. I didn't notice until a boy asked me if I'd killed someone in my pants. FML

Today, a kid came into the classroom I teach in to tell me there was "something" in the girls' toilets. "What kind of something", I asked? I was not expecting the answer "A period mural". FML

Today, while writing a midterm, my period came unexpectedly. Too bad my male professor was the one to notice and not me. FML

Today, my mother and I went to a meeting at my school about a camping trip the students in my grade will be going on. When the time to ask questions came, my mother raised her hand and loudly asked, "What if my child is on their period during the trip?" FML

Today, I called my mom to tell her that I finally got my period. There was an awkward pause. She was at work. I was on speakerphone. FML

Today, my period started. It wouldn't be a big deal if it hadn't happened while I was in my karate class practicing kicks, and if the guy I have a crush on hadn't informed me of it after chuckling. FML

Today, I, an insecure high school student, told my 11-year-old sister that I got my period in third grade. She responded with, “What?! Then how come you didn’t have tits until last year?” FML

Today, while in the store with my kids, they wanted to buy tampons because I am "getting cranky, and it should be that time of the month." FML

#25 Do tou think Midol is some magic medicine that makes all signs of PMsing disappear, including moodswings? Where are you living?La-la-land? If anything midol slightly improves my cramps a little bit, but it doesn't help with the back pain and especially not the moodswings...to completely eliminate those you'd need some kind of hormone inhibitor and not a painkiller... o.O And not all women think the world revolves around them just because their on their period. If you're a guy you don't know how much it sucks to have to go through it ever freaking month...

Well, I am a woman and I know how much period sucks. But as much as it sucks, we shouldn't go around thinking that we can get away with anything just by simply saying "Oh, sorry I'm on my period." Period may suck but you can still think about what you're going to say or do. Control your temper and stop complaining. Suck it up.

#21: I had to re-read that comment twice to realize you didn't say "First dick you suck for comedy".

Or you just went way passed funny, to being a complete asshole instead, #11. Personally, I rarely ever complain about my period but on the first day when I'm cramping like crazy, my head hurts so ******* much, and all I want to do is cry, I think a little complaining to my mom should be okay. hahahaha to #21, though And anyways, I guess the boy was going to learn sometime! He probably won't really understand what you mean.

Yeah, I doubt the child understood any of what you meant. I realized you'd have to be gently unspecific with such an age group, but seriously, I hope that's not the basis of the "developing body" talk you ever have with a daughter. For future reference, not all women experience mood swings with their hormonal fluctuations.

haha well.. it was a simple mistake. it wouldn't surprise me if some little kid would ask that question, referring to a "woman's time of the month", so... no big deal.
