        • It looks like blood, but it's not. It's my body letting me know, every month, that I could make a baby if I wanted to. It happens to every woman when she becomes a teenager.

    • why would she have seen it? i have an 8yo and 6yo, and they have never seen evidence of periods. you are kind of gross.

        • ok, perhaps you have a point, but they have never asked me and my kids are total askers

            • I've never hear it referred to as refuse. Sounds so much like garbage.

    • I wear tampons, so it doesn't get on my underwear. I explain the tampons by saying that mommy has a special "flow" that allows her to have babies.

    • It doesn't hurt, it's something that happens to every woman when she gets older so that she can start getting ready to be a mommy. she won't have to worry about it for years and years.
