"She just started her lady time..."

When I was 11 years old I started my period for the first time. I remember it so well. I was sitting in my 5th grade class in the 2nd row. I asked my teacher if I could go to the bathroom and she said yes. Our classroom had a bathroom in the back right corner so I rushed back there, pulled down my undies, and "AHHHH!!!" I literally started screaming at the top of my lungs. My teacher started banging on the door. I pulled up my undies and opened the door. I was bawling. She took me outside, sat down on the steps, and she explained to me what was going on with my body. I was mortified. She called my grandparents (they raised me) and told them what was going on. They said they'd be to the school in just a few minutes. So, I waited in the office for them to pick me up. My grandfather, of all people, was the one to come get me. We ride home in silence until he says, "Well, I reckon we need to get you some lady products!" So, we stopped at the store and he walked down the isle and blurted out to a young girl that was standing in the same isle, "She just started her lady time so what would you recommend?" I don't remember if she said anything or not but I do remember we ended up going home with some jumbo pads.
