Even if I do go with the "women have been bleeding since the beginning of time" approach, how do I talk to her so SHE won't freak out? I'm sure I'll figure something out. This is the girl I potty-... |

| First off I have to say that you are SO lucky to have a mother like that! Maybe it's cause I'm an American, but sexual feelings of any kind were considered very very very wrong until I was at least 16!
