Awkward For A Period
(I’m a male but people often mistake me for a girl. It’s about fourth period and I’m feeling ill and ask to go to the nurse’s office. When I get there, this exchange happens.)
Nurse: “Hello! What’s the problem?”
Me: “I feel like throwing up and I’m kind of dizzy.”
Nurse: *without even checking my temperature or anything* “Are you on your period?”
Me: *open jawed in disbelief* “Um… I’m a boy…”
(About a minute of awkward silence passes.)
Nurse: “Oh! Well, you can lie down back here, then.”
(The nurse ended up letting me go home without even checking if I had a fever and my mother later received a very apologetic call from the school nurse.)
