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

Why the hell would you tell your kindergarten class that you're having your period.

hahaha thats so awkward. but mood swings? pretty sure thats a myth, my friend's psychology textbook said PMS is pretty much all in your head.. its exaggerated a lot.

ha ha, totally agree w/ #35. As a fellow woman, as a feminist, while #5's comment was simply ignorant and idiotic, a) giving him any sort of credit as a human being is a waste of time, and b) 35 had it right, i'm sorry you have your period just like half of the entire population, but if you're old enough to be a school teacher you're old enough to have learned how to deal with it. way to perpetuate the stereotype of moody menstruating females to the younger generations. you just set our movement back a few notches.

YDI for thinking a 5 year old would ask about what a "woman's" period was. Sure, being on your period sucks badly, I know from experience because I'm a woman myself. But do you honestly think that a five year old would know what that was? And why would you even describe it to him? Think before you speak.

I bet that some over-protective, ultra-sheltering mother or will storm into your school demanding you hand in your resignation. That would suck... I hate mothers like that... Sorry ladies, but your kid grows up sometime, I'm willing to bet the kid had no idea what she was talking about even after the explanation. Yeah he was, what, 5 years old, but kids grow up fast! But... What were you thinking? The kid is in KINDERGARDEN! lol YDI

This is ******* brilliant. It needs to be used in a comedy sketch somehow. And look on the bright side: the kids know something new! Everybody wins!

it was an honest misunderstanding. with all the commercials on tv now, from birth control to tampons to viagra to condoms, i can see how you thought a child might ask a question like that. anyways, your response did not go into any details, and i bet he has already forgotten about it.
