“Show her! Go show your mom!” Cody said through hysterical fits of laughter.
Now that’s never a good thing to hear.
the moosh came up the stairs to me, nothing looked wrong or out of place.
That is until she reached down her pants and pulled one of my sister in laws nursing pads from between her legs.
“IT’S MY PAD!” she declared, holding the round white pad up in triumph.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is what happens when you have an observant audience at all of your bathroom performances.

I’ve been waiting about 25 years for a story to top the one where I went to school wearing a Kotex on my forehead as a band aid in the first grade.
Um.
I think the Moosh just swooped me.

My son refers to pads as “mommy’s diapers.”
Has she asked you out in public yet if you need one? Mine has. lol

HAHA. I remember my little sister would always ask my mom, “Mommmmmmy? Your butt bleeding? Your butt need a band-aid? Cuz your butt bleeding? Why your butt bleeding, mommy?”
I realized just yesterday (when I had to semi-explain my feminine products) that I have NEVER had that problem with Sunshine. Chalk one great thing up to being a Step.

I too always have an audience in the bathroom and as many time as I have tried to shoe her out of the bathroom during that time of the month she just stands there are STARES! She has only ever asked me if I was hurt and when I said no the whole thing was dropped but I know a better explanation is coming sooner rather then later. YOU have a creative one and a lot more fun to look forward to!

Ho. Ly. CRAP! That is hilarious!!!!! She is way too observant… Which is, I suppose, a good thing. But what happens when she does this in Primary?

Don’t you love the observant audiences in the bathroom? Geesh. My daughter will notice when I’m using pads and for the next few days constantly asks if I need a dipey change!

My girlfriend’s son told her that “boys have a penis and girls have a string.”
Which is why I lock the door

Too funny. Bossy discovered this amazing thing when her youngest was three: doors. They are rectangular and quite opaque and some even come with a little clicky thing. A lock.

Once, while wearing a pad, Parker was in the bathroom with me and asked…
Mom! Why did you poop in your underwear?
It’s fun times like these that makes me wish we had three kids. snort

[...] She had asked if I had some extra products available to *ahem* assist in her monthly womanly journey. I retrieved what I had from downstairs and while walking towards her with my head in a box of Tampax I shouted “I don’t really have a whole lot of supers, but I do have an ENORMOUS SUPER DUPER OVERNIGHT PAD…” [...]
