Tweens 101

So lets just say, that there is a little girl who just turned 10.

And then lets say that she has had "the life talk" at school.

Just "imagine" that one day you come home from work, haven't eaten all day, and the tween starts in... You inhale a piece of leftover pizza, while irritably TRYING to listen to a tween that is in crisis about a "mishap" that occurred on the playground.

Lets say that about 20 mins later your stomach starts hurting from said inhaled pizza and tween crisis. You turn to tween holding belly and say, "um, my stomach hurts". To which the tween says, "oh, aren't we near the end of the month".

Me... "Well, technically no - its the 2nd." (completely clueless as to where this is going b/c having a tween is uncharted territory)

Tween... "Ohhhhh, well you knowwwww, crapping in your stomach and irritability towards the end of the month... Humm, don't be "offensive" (not knowing how to correctly use the word) but you MAYYYY be starting your period."

Me... collapsed on floor.

Seriously people? I'm not ready for this...

I know you meant to type "cramping", but that made it funny for a whole different reason. :) you can count on me.
