Today, I called my mom to tell her that I finally got my period. There was an awkward pause. She was at work. I was on speakerphone. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I saw my crush standing at the bus stop. I did the "I'm talking to someone on the phone thing," trying to be cool. Halfway through the conversation my phone actually rang, I quickly answered but it was my mom on loudspeaker yelling, "Did you bring your tampons?" FML
Today, for the first time in over a year, my mother actually called me. I excitedly picked up the phone. All I heard was rustling; her purse dialed me. FML
Today, I called my mom for the first time in a few weeks, just to chat because I miss her. When she picked up, the first thing she said was, "Why are you calling? What's wrong? Do you have swine flu??" When I told her that I didn't, and I just wanted to chat, she hung up. FML
Today, I talked to my mom about hanging out with her. She got out her phone to schedule an appointment. FML
Today, I was secretly listening to a voicemail from my mom in maths class when I accidentally hit the speaker phone button. My whole math class now knows I have a gyno appointment at 9:45 on March 11. FML
Today, I finally had a phone call after a week of nothing. It was my mother. It was by accident. FML
Today, I called my mom to ask for some help with my dishwasher. Somehow, the call got turned into a video call. I was wearing a bathrobe, and she was naked in her bathroom. Most awkward call ever. FML
Today, my phone rang for the first time in four days. It was my mom. She dialed the wrong number. FML
Today, I was talking on the phone to my crush so I went into the bathroom for some privacy. My drunk mother started banging on the door, asking what I was doing in there. I told her that I was on the phone, so she yelled super loud, "While you're shitting?" He immediately hung up. FML
Today, my parents left for work before I had to leave for school and I decided to skip. I stayed by the phone, expecting the school to call so I could pose as my parent and excuse my absence. The phone rings and I pick up. It's my Mom, calling to leave my dad a message on the machine. FML

Why is this something to be excited about? You get to put a huge cloth up your ****** once a month. You don't that period in order for you to be a woman.

At least you and your mom are close enough that you feel comfortable sharing that. Think of all the girls out there who don't have good relationships with their mothers, or don't even have mothers.

my thoughts exactly. i think its about 'becoming a woman' or something, but i do believe the novelty wears off quite quickly for something like menstration. eh, who am i to judge tho lol.

I'm very close with my mom, and maybe she is with hers. She and both her mom had maybe been anticipating it? IDK?

You dont know the fear of not getting your first period when you're a girl. Its kinda panicky when everyone in your grade has had it and you havent. Its. TERRIFYING. Then weird scenarios go through your head about not having a period ever.

I'm so jealous of OP. When I tell my mom about those things, she continuously tells me that I should move out soon and that she wouldn't need to do anything nice for a 'grown up' like me. I'm turning 13 in April.

not getting your period can be a bad thing for many reasons. the fact that she said that she 'finally' got it probably means that it was late. having a late period can mess with your body's hormones and make you feel sick too sometimes. or it might mean that she thought she was pregnant, but her period came, meaning she wasn't pregnant. so that would definitely be something to be excited about. i don't know what her situation is personally, but those could be some options as to why she was happy to get it? that sucks though that everyone heard...awkward.

Why the hell is she on speaker phone? That's disrespectful.

#5 I think she meant she got her period for the first time

You can't really make that assumption. OP didn't specify. #5 was just throwing out some reasons OP MIGHT have been exited.

Well, I guess you're not pregnant after all! Woo hoo!

I think she meant she got her period for her first time. For those of you who don't remember (or who are guys), girls are usually really excited to get their period. After a couple months though, they are left wondering why they ever wished for it in the first place. And it's completely normal to run to your mother to tell her when you do get it for the first time.

I was 14 and even though all my friends had gotten it I didn't want it at all. I felt bad for them for having to deal with it.
scvcwcheer 0

im 13 and still haven't got it but all of my best friends have and they all say I'm rlly lucky I haven't got it yet so I'm scared for when I do get it.

I was 11 when I got mine... It scared the hell out of me lol. Def was way too young to understand the whole menstrual/ovulation thing. Lolol. And for the first few years it was annoying as shit.. And then I switched to tampons.. I dunno what she got all excited for, I def didn't ask for my period nor was I excited for it Lolol

I never wanted mine to start and when it did I didn't tell my mother for months.

Your mom's kind of dumb for putting you on speakerphone without telling you.
CocoaRox 0
I agree and disagree, I agree that her mom shouldn't put her on speaker at work. What if it was a private conversation... Like u got ur period
