What’s A Period?
The innocent mind of a child is something we all wish we could have again. They live simply without any of the stress or burden that we face as adults. When the OP was younger, they overheard their mom telling their dad they would be on their period next week. As a young child, he didn’t know what a period was, and rightfully so, especially since their mom lied to them about it. They tried to brag to older women they knew what a period was, and they laughed in his face, and it was years before they understand why (via Offbeat_Blitz).
