I remember it was Monday and I was in school. I went to the bathroom because I felt like I had peed myself, but when I saw my underwear, I saw something brown and thought that I had diarrhea and I pooped myself. So I just waited the whole day to get home and change my underwear.
That same thing repeated for the whole week until I realized it was my period (I have sisters, so I knew what it was, I just didn't know that blood could be brown) and I still didn't tell my mom until two days later. To my surprise she didn't make a big deal out of it (which was exactly what I needed).
