My oldest started “Growth & Development” last week at school. Yes, it’s sex ed for 4th graders. EEK! On top of THAT, today I was invited to join my daughter at school for a Mother & Daughter Menstruation Tea put on by the school.

Quoting from my Growth & Development phamplet:

The 4th grade girls Mother/Daughter Tea to discuss menstruation will be held on Wed. 4/26 at 2:15pm in the cafeteria. Grandmothers, aunts, etc are invited to attend if mothers are unable to come. Teachers will also be present.

What kind of person makes that the topic of a TEA? Who dreamt this up?? I asked my daughter if she knew what the topic was and she said “Nope, but they’re having punch and cookies!”
