This is about feminine hygiene products. So don't read if the topic makes you squeamish.
I remember when I was a kid - seeing my mom use a GIANT Kotex (early 70s). I thought we were all supposed to do that - so around the age of 4, I started folding up toilet paper and putting it in my undies.
My mother saw me do it one day and asked we what I was up to. I said, I wanted to be like Mommy.
She then got out the big 'Mother's Encyclopedia" and talked to me about female anatomy. A conversation that would have to be repeated around age 8 when I could more fully grasp the concepts of a reproductive system.
Tonight, I was attempting to have some private bathroom time - when in walks my two year old. She sees me using a similar - but now ultra thin - product.
She sees the package it came it. And demands to have one.
Okay, I'm curious. So I hand it to her.
She opens it up. Hands me the wrapper. She peals off the sticky part.
I ask her what she is going to do with it.
She replys "want it on my butt"
She then pulls her little jeans down and places it on her diaper. She pulls her jeans up and trots out into the living room - happy as a camper.
I think she might be too young for the birds and the bees conversation.
Think I need to get a lock for the bathroom door.

Hmm. My two year old son has a habit of entering the bathroom when it is occupied. As a service to those on the throne, he goes into the feminine supplies drawer and offers a tampon to whoever (male or female) is trying to do their duty. I think I might need to get a lock too....
