...buy feminine products. Period. I don't know if I told you guys this story, but it just came back as that 'time of the month' came around. I apologize if repeating.
I'm heading to my reunion, puked on the 13 hour ride and realize EARLY in the trip that I got my period. Well, there's not a lot of grocery stores along I94 and I didn't want to make the guys uncomfortable so I improvised.
Get to my son's house. My friend asks if I need anything before they leave. I'm still a ripe color of green and said yes. I whisper to him asking me if he could go to the store and get me the biggest pads he could find. Now, this is a guy who has never been married or had a long term relationship.
He comes back about 30 minutes later. I'm thinking...why did it take him 30 minutes when the store is about 2 blocks away? He gives me the bag and they leave. I go to the restroom and pull out what he bought. I nearly died laughing. First, the pads are about 3 inches thick and 2 feet long. You ain't leaking through these!! Secondly, there was a package of Depends. Depends? What? Does he think women pee themselves during this time?
Now I know why it took him 30 minutes. He was probably scouring every product, reading the labels, etc. Sweet of him to give it a try, though. I just opened up my closet yesterday and saw those and it brought back such a funny time. H is like...why do you have Depends in there?
I tell H the story. He gave me that deer in the headlight look and said, "You asked a GUY to go get you pads?" I picked up the Depends, held them in front of me and said...lesson learned.
