While everybody was napping but Ana (and, unfortunately, me), I had to blow my nose in the bathroom

[conuly]

I have no privacy, you must understand, so naturally Ana walked right in on me.

"Connie! You're not wearing a pad today?"
"Nope."
"BUT NOW YOU'LL GET BLOOD ON YOUR PANTS! That's not good!"
"No, honey - I only get my period a few days out of the month, not every day."
"Oh. It's only sometimes?"
"Yup."
"Well, that sucks."

*laughs*

That's not the word I'd necessarily use, but I'm happy for her to take that attitude about it! I should be getting my period soon, I'm quite PMS-y.

From the sound of it, she might think you're some abnormal person who bleeds, whereas most people never experience it.

No, she knows her mom bleeds, she *should* understand that all grown-up women bleed (we haven't discussed menopause yet), and so she should logically also understand (logic - right!) that she'll get her period too when she grows up.

Am I the only one that thinks that's really cute?

[conuly]

It's adorably cute! It is perhaps the cutest thing she said in the whole day!

If it happened all the time, they wouldn't call it a period, they'd call it an ellipsis.

In this case, I must point out, the ellipsis would fail completely to lead into a pregnant pause.

That was just bad. No cookie for you!
