Today I was sitting on the toilet (I know! You were dying for that kind of info about me!) and Saoirse walked in. She looks down at my underwear, where there just happens to be a pad (again, I know!!) and this is what she says:
"EWWWW...that is nasty!"
I was unaware that I had a second daughter on the throes of teenagedom. Never one to back down from an opportunity to talk about the joys of all things womanly I say "It's just blood."
"Blood?"
"Yes. Sort of like when you scraped your leg skateboarding." That was her most recent bleeding injury, and one soon not to be forgotten apparently, since I now have to hold her hand whenever she gets on the skateboard. "When you are a teenager it will happen to you too, once a month."
"Blood? Once a month?"
"Yep. Lucky aren't you?"
And of course this adventure in bathroom breaks reminded me of when she wandered in while William was drying off after a shower and pointing at his boy most manly of parts said "Oh Daddy, look at your poop!"
It's a lucky thing that I have never related penises to poop, because really? Had I, one of those things never would have made it anywhere near my lips.

Oh bless you bless you for sharing the penis poop relationship. It had me howling.
I can only imagine the horror of pads and bleeding once a month to a young child. EWW yucky is right! Boo hiss.
Though without it she wouldn't be there so she should shush. ;)
Sweet. Jesus.
Emma, I just love your openness!!!! Love it!
That'll teach her to not give you privacy in the bathroom!
Thanks for letting us all go to the bathroom with you. Those are special moments. :)
It's never fun having to explain things like that to toddlers.
Oh my!
You are better then I. I still hide that stuff from the kids. Still trying to figure out how to explain that to Kenzie. She's 8 and seems she has time but her cousin started at 10.
Emma I love you!
That is too funny!!! Randie joins me in the bathroom alot and when she see's it she just says "Thats a pad".. lol She has never seen Dave's parts so don't know what she would say about that.. lol
ah, the facts of life.
man, you are bringing me back to junior high and that movie we had to watch that told us the facts of life. it was completely vague and the only thing i took away from it was this: once a month, when you grow up, you will not be able to ride a horse.
And I never had kids because??!! Ha!
When I'm in the bathroom, one of my kitties, Morgan, has to be in there with me sitting on my lap. Sigh ...
She's skateboarding??!! At TWO YEARS OLD???!!!
Oh good lord I'm going to have to go read the whole thing all over again because I forget everything after reading that last sentence!!!!!!!
one little girl I nannied, would NEVER let me go to the bathroom by myself--- she learned all her colors from my panties.
everyday she would tell her parents what color panties I had on. especially if it was a color that was new to her.
"guess what? Nee nee has on turquoise panties, Daddy!"
thanks for sharing - that was funny.
and you're funny too Frannie!
Oh dear God. I just laughed so hard that I scared the shit out of my previously sleeping cat.
HAHAHAA!!
Hysterical! Heck, every time I see MY pad I say EEEEW! So I can't really blame her!
I'm glad I don't have to worry about this any more!!
I don't know why you say you are not funny. You most certainly are funny. That was hilarious!
