When I got my first period, it was in the morning, the day before Father's Day, and my grandparents were staying over. They weren't supposed to leave until 6 pm that evening. Luckily, my friend (God bless her) had given me some pads because she said that one day it would catch me by surprise. And yes, it did.
I wrote down on a piece of paper that I had gotten my period and handed it to my mom. She read it, looked at me, and LAUGHED!! She went to the store and got me a bunch of stuff, and began educating me about it. Really embarrassing, but she seemed happy.
