It's funny because I don't remember the actual event. I don't remember seeing blood or being scared. What I do remember is my mom taking me to our small town King Soopers and telling everyone— EVERYONE— that we were there to buy pads.
We bumped into my 2nd-grade teacher, my pottery instructor, my old soccer coach. She proudly told every person we saw that I was "officially a woman." At the time I was mortified. In hindsight, it was pretty hilarious.
