It was the end of seventh grade and school had just ended. I went to the bathroom, looked at my underwear and thought I had sharted. I knew about periods but I thought it would look like blood that flows from a cut, which it did not.
I wadded up some toilet paper and spent the rest of the day wondering when the fart that went too far had been. It wasn’t until the next morning that I realized what it was.
