It was the day of my thirteenth birthday party. I went to the bathroom and noticed blood in my underwear and I knew what it was so I told my grandma who I'm very close to. I told her what happened and I said, "don't tell mom."
Her face turned white and she ran down the stairs and started yelling, "Caroline, Caroline" (my mom's name) and my mom ran into the house and gave me a pad.
She gave me a demo of how to use it even though I already knew everything about periods. Then my grandma came back up the stairs and gave me a cookie so I'd feel better and the party was a success.
