Kiss My Grits.....

September 16, 2011

**WARNING...This blog post consists of a topic that can be considered TOO MUCH INFORMATION!
If you cannot handle a conversation about womanly topics...I suggest you click here!

                                      Let's talk about...

What is it about men and the topic of menstruation?  You would think by the time a man is in his late '40s' and witnessed the birth of two children, that he would be a little bit more educated about a woman's "time of the month".

If I must be frank with you...today I received my monthly gift from Mother Nature....




It has now been about twenty-three years since I first got my period, which after doing the math (12 x 23 =)  is 276 menstrual cycles...and I probably have another twenty years left...(12 x 20 = 240)!!!





Tonight I made a comment to my husband telling him I got my period...

"Ugh, I got my period today."

"Didn't  you just have that?"


"YES...I did just have "that".  Every twenty-five days I have "that" and I will have "that" every month for the next twenty years!" 


I wonder what men would do if their nose bled every month.  How would they be in the days before the bleeding started, when they knew it was coming, but they didn't know exactly when it would actually start.  How would they be if they had nasal cramps before and during this monthly nose bleed.  Imagine if they had a golf-outing planned, and then realized their monthly nose bleed was due at the same time.

I have to give my husband credit, as he really is not that freaked out by talk of menstruation...and he would be more than happy to go to the store to buy me a box of tampons.  However, I doubt he would be able to  answer the million dollar question when asked what brand of tampons I use.
