This was hilarious! So annoying that your father couldn’t remember.

The ultimate letdown after years of hoarding my secret 💀

Lirpa, why??? If it was your grandfather, I would completely understand. But I've always felt that periods are basically the only thing that create a sense of sisterhood between women. Like I would provide my worst enemy (if I had one) with "feminine supplies" in time of need. Which is not to say that first periods aren't shocking to middle schoolers. But you'd rather have been known as a bedwetter... to Grandma?!

I don't know 😂 I really cannot figure it out. It's like I had the one moment of embarrassment at Walmart that just turned into a two week long lie-spiral disaster lol

I love this story. I’m a non menstruater but I was subject to free floating, overwhelming, irrational embarrassment as a kid and teen that would get me into situations almost this weird

This was great! Tho my mind was weirdly turning it into a comic horror story where your grandmother knows you're lying and as punishment curses you to forever REALLY wet the bed the first night whenever you're staying at a new place. Sleep overs, dorm rooms, hotel rooms, boyfriends ... I'm not sure how that story ends...

(Sorry my mind wanders to weird places sometimes)

Haha, I wonder if she did know I was lying and the whole circus about the plastic sheets and everything else was just an extended lesson in not lying about stupid shit.
