I was immediately transported back to my 12-year-old self, when I was new to periods and mortified by every aspect of them.
Every phase of my daughters' childhoods opens a portal right back to that equivalent time in my own life.
It smarts a bit to remember that no one taught me how to use a tampon, or how often to change a pad.
My mom grew up with four sisters, and it's possible she underestimated how much a girl needs her mother for this part.
