Last week Ella and I were at her violin lesson, and she told her teacher (who’s a man, BTW) that:
“Mommy was grouchy this week BECAUSE SHE IS ON HER PERIOD.“
I wanted to crawl into her violin case and close the lid. I really did.
So I made another sign – this one for my children to plant in our front yard, or at the beach, or anywhere – preferably a highly public place, one with lots of people every month:
I’m also thinking of having some T-shirts printed for them with this handy warning on the front that they can wear each month just in case anyone doesn’t know about what’s going on with Mom.

Yes, I would’ve felt the exact same way! Moms (and dads) are pubic figures, after all! It reminds me of when my son was in 3rd grade, and one of the kids during show & tell brought in his dad’s speeding ticket.
That would be embarrassing! I’m sure their teachers have heard it all…!
I was rolling with seeing that sign. It did take me back to my own parents would be at the dinner table. Mom and my dad would be yelling about that while we as kids knew what they were speaking of. Of course they would be thinking we knew nothing of that at all. Glad to see it is still spoken about in your way. Made me laugh.. and that felt great! Thank you..

Oh God. I’m not sure what’s worse, your daughter telling her teacher THAT or my son telling on the neighbours hanging out in front of my house that I was on the crapper the other day…crapping. Aren’t children so sweet?
January, I don’t know how to tell you this: yours is definitely worse. (-:
If it makes you feel any better, I didn’t know… =)
HA HA HAHAHAHAH! Laughing – and laughing…and laughing, E.! And so relieved! However I am sure you have heard a whole lot of stuff about us that would probably make me cringe!
OMG! You are SO funny! Elizabeth’s comment is hilarious, too! I bet there is never a dull moment….
Ha! Nice. LOL I’m sorry, though!
Ha! That will totally be my daughter. She tells everybody everything. All of the cashiers at our grocery store know the ice cream’s for my husband and the coffee and wine are for me… Thanks honey.
