“I had a difficult conversation with my 13-year-old son, Charlie, recently. You know, the talk. The one every parent knows is coming. I had to sit down with him and explain why some grown-ass adults are terrified of tampons.”

@inthehands I remember when the period discussion came to our Middle School classroom (we called it Junior High back in those days).

The girls were spirited away and instructed separately; we boys were not to badger them or discuss it further when they returned from their unprecedented sequestration.

I, of course, had informants who filled me in on the substance of the lesson. And that was that!

It was all very interesting, memorable, and good to know.
