This FML is from back in 2015 but it's good stuff

Today, my daughter got her first period. Nobody was home but my husband. He didn't know what to do, except give her a sponge to put in her underwear. FML

To be fair, that is not entirely wrong, considering a tampon works like a sponge anyway. I say A for effort.

Nice parenting... you'd think he would have done a quick Google at some point before she hit puberty.

I find it hard to believe a father wouldn't know a little more than that in case this very situation arose. Your daughter was undoubtedly embarrassed enough without that sound advice. Like others have said, a Google search would have certainly been easier/better. And OMG yes, I hope it was a clean sponge... or she'll also be getting her first yeast infection.
