I haven’t posted this because I wasn’t sure it would translate, and I’m also still in horrified disbelief that she said this, but I can’t sleep so here goes: I have five kids 7-14. We were all sitting around the TV playing jackbox games with the neighbors. My seven year old daughter, Maggie, is hilarious and was killing it on the game. Also playing was my 14 year old daughter, Annie, my middle three kids and a neighbor family. (If you’ve played quiplash, you know that the game on the tv gives you a prompt, and then the players enter a funny or clever answer in hopes of getting votes as the best answer.) The prompt was: “something you don’t want to find in your ice cube.” The two answers written by the kids to choose from were: A bandaid Blod I said, “blod? What’s blod?” Maggie (the first grader) blurted out: “well, i didn’t have room to type it all, but it’s not just any blood, I meant Annie’s (the ninth grader) vagina blood. Did you guys know she had that? Wouldn’t that be terrible in your ice cube?” Shocked silence and then awkward sputtering, finally followed by cackling. Neighbors quickly left to explain menstruation to their children.
