The Big Dot

My ten year old daughter, who is beginning to develop and is well aware of what’s happening and what to expect, came into the kitchen the other day and with hands on hips, said,

"Mom, you see these pants I have on? Even if they fit me next year, I’m not going to be able to wear them. "

“Why’s that, honey? They look good on you.”

:rolleyes:“Moooom, look at them, look at the color. They’re a light color”

“Oookay, they’re a light color and this is a problem because???”

:rolleyes:“The Big Dot???”

“The what?”

:rolleyes:"You know. The Big Dot. Like at the end of a sentence. My period…:rolleyes:

Her eyes were so far rolled back at this point she could probably see the roots of her hair. Cracked me up. I am using The BIG DOT from now on.

(And we did talk about what she could do to prevent having a problem if she got The BIG DOT at school, even in light colored pants.)

Yeah, but Dracula telling the schoolgirl, “See you next Big Dot.” just doesn’t come across nearly as funny.

You should tell her that if she continues to roll her eyes like that, one day they’ll stick! :smiley:
