Yesterday, one of the new Kotex commercials came on (the one where the girls talks about how she feels about her period and how the "blue water" in the ads make it all clear for her), and Michael and I are busting up. What a hilarious commerical!! I laugh every time it's on. (The one where the chick with the bike asks guys to buy them for her is also funny.)
Anyways, Landon is "What's a tampon?"
You all know we recently had the "where babies come from" convo with him, so this was such a nice, tidy follow-up.
Anyways, I explain a little bit about how the uterus uses blood to build up soft, cushy place for the egg to grow into a baby, etc. but that since there isn't actually an egg to grow, the body lets go of all that blood. I explain a little bit about how that happens and that there are things that help absorb the blood--one of those things being tampons (didn't really explain how they're used or anything).
I also took a moment to mention some of the possible "side effects" that can be associated with this time of the month (headaches, cramps, mood swings, etc.).
Fast forward to today when Michael starts to tease me about something, and Landon pipes up, "Careful, Dad. She's probably bleeding." --> Guess that's Landonspeak for PMS.
This kid is a constant source of amusement.
