So my mom can’t keep a secret to save her life. She is also always prepared. She put pads under the sink in my bathroom like 5 years before I got my first period. So when I got it I just used the pads that were already there and decided not to tell her because I didn’t want the entire neighborhood to know I was finally “a woman.”
I ended up telling her when we got into a fight about her telling a friend something I didn’t want spread around and yelled at her “this is why I didn’t tell you I got my period last week! You can’t keep anything to yourself!”
