Family Affair

I was 9 when I got my first period. It wasn't so much embarrasing because I didn't understand what it was. I had just recently moved to Chicago. It was my first summer here. A lot of my family came for a gathering and later invited all the kids to spend the weekend at her house. In the town she stayed in there was a carnival and during the event I kept feeling wet and soggy in my underwear. It was a very hot day so I thought it was sweat. That's until I went back to the house to use the bathroom. Surprise, Surprise! I was to shy to tell someone that I had red stuff in my underpants,so I ignored it and tried not to sit on the furniture. I kept checking myself and one my cousins noticed and pulled me to the bathroom. I showed her my underwear and that's when the real fun began.Everyone was older than me but I was the first to get aunt Flo. They taught how to use a pad and then I called my mom to let her know. But best about the whole situation is, the one cousin who teased me the most about getting my period before her, got hers days later...HA_HA
