Tina Fey Quotes

I Was Ten Years Old. I Had Noticed Something Was Weird Earlier In The Day But I Knew From Commercials That One's Menstrual Period Was A Blue Liquid That You Poured Like Laundry Detergent Onto Maxi Pads To Test Their Absorbency. This Wasn't Blue So ... I Ignored It For A Few Hours.
When We Got Home I Pulled My Mom Aside To Ask If It Was Weird I Was Bleeding In My Underpants. She Was Very Sympathetic But Also A Little Baffled. Her Eyes Said "Dummy Didn't You Read 'How Shall I Tell My Daughter ". I HAD Read It But Nowhere In The Pamphlet Did Anyone Say That Your Period Was NOT A Blue Liquid.
At That Moment Two Things Became Clear To Me I Was Now Technically A Woman And I Would Never Be A Doctor.
