I get there and she looks at me with big teary eyes and says "i've started my period"
It nearly made me cry too.

At 10?

It happens. Usually to heftier girls, and to girls whose moms got their periods super early, and girls who eat a lot of dairy and meat with hormones in it.

Yeah? 8-13 is normal to start. That puts 10 as reasonable. https://www.healthychildren.org/English/ages-stages/gradeschool/puberty/Pages/Physical-Development-Girls-What-to-Expect.aspx

I was either almost 9 or just barely 9 when I got mine. I had arm hair in second grade (7), and I vividly remember being called a hairy monkey when I played on the monkey bars. Naturally, I stopped doing that...

Oh great! my daughter has just turned 8, I was totally not expecting to need to think about this just yet for At least two more years😵

There’s a reason the discussion starts at school in 3rd/4th.

DD used to think that deodorant was “the odorant”. So she would always ask if I put the odorant on.

My kid used to say checkup for ketchup and chicken for kitchen. I never corrected because it was really cute. It only lasted a short while before he figured it out.

He also used to say "i want to clean my room but my body doesn't want to do it." His body was his excuse for everything for a while (he was 4).

You know Mayor Humdinger from Paw Patrol? My 4yo has started calling him “The Humping Mayor”.

Maybe because he has a pu$$y posse?

My kids call is hanatizer!

Many years ago I was a nanny and had a charge that used hanatizer as well, every now and then I say the same and think of him. He also used rainbrella for umbrella.

I’m a kindergarten teacher and at least 25% of my class every year calls it hanitizer

Me, opening up the fridge while making dinner: “we’re out of lettuce, shoot.”
