Hopefully No Bad Blood Between Them

(I am a 13-year-old female, and have just started menstruating. My dad is angry because the trash can is full of bloodstained napkins.)

Mom: “[My Name], could you hide your napkins so it doesn’t gross your dad out?”

Me: *loudly* “I can’t believe this! I’m sitting here, bleeding, while all dad can complain is about blood in the trash can! What’s he looking in there for, anyway?”

Mom: “He’s not looking for anything… uh…”

Me: “They’re not going to jump out and bite!”

(I won that argument. My dad never complained again!)
