Out of the mouths of my babes

Darcy: "I'm all packed."

Me: "With everything? Even tampons and pads in case you menstruate?"

Tom: "Menstruate? What's that? I mean, is that what you call it? How you say it?"

Darcy: "Well Dad, it is something that occurs monthly that let's me know I'm not pregnant, which is a good thing. Unless you are trying to have a baby and then it wouldn't be a good thing I guess, but it is bloody and messy and frankly if you ask me I think it would be easier if Mother Nature just texted us each month."
