Sans Y- Chromosome

I've been meaning to write this a long time ago.
But, you know, I just get so lazy sometimes. Okay, so most of the time.
Yeah, so a few weeks ago, being the female that I am, my period came a bit unexpectedly. Anyways, I was at home so I'm sorry to burst your bubble, this isn't about me bleeding in public. I went room to look for a pad when I realize that I have none. Zip. Nada. I called my mom's cell, she was at work, and told her to buy some on her way home. She comes home at midnight so I ussually dont see her till the following morning.
Morning comes and I go to her and ask if she bought them. "OH! I'm so sorry. I forgot." Typical.
I'm in my room using the computer and I hear my mom say to my dad "She has to buy something so take her." My brother works at a drugstore and my dad was going to drop him off.
"I told your Dad to take you, 'kay?" My mom says, appearing at my door.
So yeah, I go dress up and we leave. We're in the parking lot when my Dad's like "Can you go buy whatever you're buying by yourself?"
"But wait. Who's paying?"
"Your brother," my dad says.
"No Im not," my brother retorts
"I only have a 20 which I need" says my dad.
"Oh, I get a discount" my brother remembers. "How much will it be?"
"What are you even buying?" My dad finally asks. I wonder what took so long.
"Oh.... nothing....something...."
So all 3 of us enter the store. I don't go there often so I felt like a lost puppy. And my brother was oh so kind enough to help.
"Okay, really. What are you buying?"
"...feminepaper" I anwer.
"What?"
"...feminepaper" I repeat.
"What??" he looked so puzzled.
"I SAID FEMININE PAPER!" I yelled. Gawd how embarassing.
My brother stood there thinking. After like a minute he bursts out "OHHH!!! Oh... Oh um its over there."
No, the story does not end here, my fellow followers.
So after choosing one, all three of us, my dad was looking at an Obama magazine cover, walk to the counter to pay for the item. I'm guessing the cashier heard my little outburst because she was barely containing her laughter as I stood there.
"So... Um... who's um.... buying this" She says through her barely stiffled laughs.
"I am" says my Dad. Which made me laugh.
"I am too" said my brother. I had to cover my face.
Finally, after it was all over and I went home, I gave my mom a good guilt trip for not buying it.
It had to be done.

P.S. I hope you like my new layout. It's still under construction though. I did take those photos myself.
