The Kid will no longer be called The Kid. She is now the Little Lady. I know, confused? Don't be. She came to me yesterday and said she thinks she started. Yeah. STARTED. My beautiful 12 year old baby has started her period 2 years before I was prepared. My niece started hers at this age, too. I don't understand why 12 year olds are having periods. I didn't start mine until I was 14. Most of the girls I went to school with didn't start until 14 or 15 either.
I keep thinking of the olden days, days when America was still in the pioneer stage. Women were married by the ages of 12 - 14 and having kids then, too. So maybe somehow we are going back to those days. History repeats itself all the time. Although it still baffles me as to why girls are starting their periods at the age of 12. The Mom would say it's all the hormones in the milk we drink or some oddball thing like that.
Ok well. I've got a shitload of homework to do and it's a damn good thing that I am off work today and tomorrow. I am going to need all the time I can get. Laters.
