Warning! Warning! Warning!
To my dear manly readers..
This post is not for you..
And if you do continue reading..don't say I didn't warn you..
but I'd rather you not..read..just sayin..
So don't!
------------------------------------------------------------
Are y'all ready to read the most embarrassing story ever..well, maybe not ever, but..it's up there for sure!
I can't even believe I'm gonna write this (deep breath)..
It's a little TMI..
Last week I got my monthly (or not so monthly) visit from the dreaded Aunt..
Flo's her name..
She comes on with a vengeance..sometimes without warning..
I hate her!
Anyway..
Friday night..I'm sitting..chatting with my step-mom..
I get up to get a glass of vino..(I could use some vino right now while writing this post)..
I walk into the kitchen..minding my own business..
Emme comes up behind me..
"Mom, you inked!"
I say.."huh, what, I inked? What are you talking about?"
Emme.."you inked! Look!"
She points to the back of my sweats..
I look..
and I see ink aka blood..(she called it ink..didn't know it was blood)
and I gasp..get all red in the face..
The hus happens to be in the kitchen too and I show him..
and then he checks the chair I was sitting on..and there's "ink" on the chair..
Meanwhile..Emme keeps saying..
"Mom, you inked..what's ink..why'd you ink?"
ink..ink..ink!!
Okay, so my Dad is in the room too..sitting with my step-mom now..
and they are laughing their heads off..
and I am humiliated, emabarrassed..you name it..
I too was laughing..it was either that or cry..I chose laughter..
I tell Emme to get my robe so I can cover the "ink" spot and make a run for it to my room..
So she does..still can't stop talking about the "ink"..
I run into my room..fix the problem..Emme comes into the bathroom..
I say go.away!
I then come out of my room..still very embarrassed that it happened in front of people..
I mean I'm 31..not 15..
Ugh!
Then my Dad brings up that he used to try to talk to me about my period when I was younger and then he mentioned something else very embarrassing that I will not repeat..
I wanted to die..or crawl under a rock..or curl up in a corner sucking my thumb..
Moral of the story..the new "ultra" tampons are not so "ultra"...
The end!
What's the most embarrassing thing that's happened to you?

what did dad mention that was very embarrassing? i think i have an idea... and you totally should have written it... would have made the story that much funnier!
;-) love ya sees!
That is brutal, but girl it happens to the best of us! That was always my WORST fear when I first got my period at the ripe ol' age of 11... Like I would have nightmares about it!!!
If it's any consolation, at least it happened in your own home and not somewhere else where you couldn't change right away! Ya know? :)
Oh man. You poor thing!!!!
I feel ya!
Let's see... In college I used to have inking accidents all the time. I washed laundry the best I could but I was broke, so we just saved them britches for that week, kwim? Well, I temporarily moved in with my fiance (now my Mr. B) who btw was temporarily living with his parents. (not losers, waiting for our new rental to be vacated) and one night on the way to dinner, as we walk out the door with my FIL, MIL and Mr. to be... my MIL announces to me "I thought I'd help you out and wash your laundry for you. Ya know, a little peroxide will get those right out for you! Don't worry, I fixed them... almost like new now.."
I cried in the backseat of their car the whole way to the restaurant... wasn't sure if I wanted to throw up or just die.
Lisa B..
That is rough! I would have totally died.
Thanks for sharing!
That does suck...but it's not that bad! At least you were at home, and not in public. Right?
I remember when I first got my period I was mortified, and my dad came home from work and obviously was told by my mom...because he came over and said "so, my little girl's growing up, huh?" I hated that! I woudl rather he not have said anything about it.
Aww that sucks for sure!
Whad did your dad say... I have to know!!
PS I recommend this to EVERYONE...
www.mirena-us.com/
You know, the commercial about not having a baby for 5 years or if you change your mind they can take it out sooner. It's an IUD... greatest thing ever! I haven't had my 'Aunt' visit in the 3 yrs I have had this... not even thought about 'her.' Call your GYN now and tell them you want mirena. It's the greatest!
The funniest thing about this is your little girl saying 'you inked'....totally reminds me of the movie Finding Nemo :) It happens to all of us, so good that you were at your house though!
aww im so sorry. i too really want to know what your dad said.
oh and i agree the ultras are not so great and i wish they would make some with more pleasent wording...last thing i want to read when im already pissy is super mega large.
Oh I'm not sure I want to share my most embarassing moment - but let's just say it was MUCH MORE than that and in public. It's never fun, sorry that happend!
Wowsers, I hate when that happens to me!
The most embarrassing thing for me in life was when I posted those pictures of me doing Rocky Horror a couple of days ago.
No really, I don't have a story like that but I hate when Aunt Flo visits :) THE WIFE that is lol
Ian!! Um..did you not read.."dear manly readers"..dude..
Saw those pics by the way!
Man this is awful!! I agree with everyone else at least you were home. I'm regularly worried that I am going to "ink" at work. That would be bad, very very bad.
So my worst flo story was the very first time. My mom was convinced flo wouldn't come for me until 16 because that is when she got hers. (She was a little naive) So at the ripe old age of 12 when I was convinced this was it. She didn't believe me. So she consulted with the only other authority in the house, by showing my Dad my underwear. Oh, YES SHE DID! I wanted to die. Needless to say we got in a huge fight and I did not talk to either of my parents for days I was sooooo embarrased.
At least this happened at YOUR house and to YOUR chair. Sorry this happened. On the other hand you now have a new code term "ink" to use with your daughter when the time comes. ;)
Oh. Ooooh. OK this is kind of embarassing. But I really like the perphrases "ink" :-) (better than the "red baron" *gg*)
And hey, it could've been much worser (with your in laws maybe or at the movies or whatever...) but I can understand your embarassement!
oh my gosh that is awful!! i am soo sorry! i have had some similar experiences like that.. thanks for sharing though, it makes the rest of us feel not so alone!! i will think of my most embarassing story and probably come back later to tell you since i am at work right now! have a great day!
oh no! embarassing...but at least it was around family and not complete strangers. haven't had that happen in awhile. a friend and i used to always call "spot check!" when standing up while on our periods (this was in high school) and many potential embarassing moments were averted this way. sorry that happened, but your little one was kinda funny :).
hope you have a good day today lady!
Your right. I thought those moments were behind us after we got out of Jr. High.
Oh my! Yikes! I don't think I can top that one.
Be glad it happened at home and not out in public somewhere :o)
It could have been worse- you could have been out in public!
A good few years ago, some friends of mine needed some insurance and a saleslady (who was a stranger) had a meeting at their house. When she stood up to leave the saleslady had 'inked' all over a cushion on their sofa.
The saleslady was very embarrassed and left the house as quickly as she could and the cushion promptly went in the bin!!!
Thank goodness you were at home, though! That has happened to me before, in public. By that I mean I was in the 8th grade and it was our 8th grade trip. On the bus seat, on the back of my pants, no change of clothes. It was humiliating.
I once stole a towel from an elderly friend of my husband's for this reason. We were staying at his lake house and I took a shower and dried off. I don't know how come it couldn't show itself in the shower so I'd know to be careful, but it got all over the towel. I wadded it up and shoved it in my suitcase never to return.
I haven't "inked" in many years. Thank goodness. It happened to me in junior high at school. where the kids very publicly told me about it.
When I was 15 I went to spend a week with my grandparents in the summer. They had a community pool. G-ma kept asking me if I wanted to go swimming. I said, no Aunt Flo is visiting. She said, oh, maybe you should go home to spend time with her if she's only here for a few days. Haha...I had to explain to my GRANDMOTHER that Aunt Flo was not a person but a curse!
my mom and I have a very evil "Aunt". I have "inked" through my pants many times. a few times even in school and I had to walk around in front of everone with "ink" on the back of my pants. ugh.
Thanks for the smile, and I could have said laugh but you were already embarrased enough. I am so glad that I don't have to worry about that problem. Have a great day.
OMG, that is too funny! Fortunately, my 'Ink Flo' is light, so I can go regular! Haha!
But, I have walked out of a public bathroom with toilet paper haging out of the back of my pants...really! Uck! Don't ask!
Oh no!!!!!! First I have to say that I cant believe you bleed that bad! I fortunately have never had that problem and I always know for the most part when mines coming. Hope the stain came out of the chair!
Oh no! I'm so sorry :( At least you were in sweats and with family, not in your best dress and having a dinner party!
it happens to all of us at one time or another. it is best to just laugh it off. i would have been embarrassed too.
@MannMom3 - Of course I read your disclaimer. Here's the problem with me. You post something like that and it's like light to a fly. I will absolutely comment about it!
So. You saw those "pics" eh? You likey?
LOL
that is awful! i have a truly embarrassing moment that i just can't bring myself to share...sorry. ;)
Something like this has surely happened to everyone! If it hasn't, I'm way jealous of those people! But it happened at your house, so thank the Lord for that! You are so brave for posting this, I love you more now :)
Oh dear!! That stinks...dang ink!
Just got her visit today! At least the Captain's visit wasn't so horrible this month...does that mean I'll pay for it with Aunt Flo?!!
you inked....oh my gosh you should so send this story to parents magazine for the kid blooper/say the darndest things section!!!
You poor thing! that is embarassing, but what about this...
11 years old, finally got invited to the birthday party of one of the super popular girls in grade 6... Had a tummy ache... and noticed weird red stuff on the fouton at her house after I got up... I went pee, and well, was, lets just say terrified of the amount of blood EVERY where. right through my flowery overall shorts...right onto the couch, right onto where ever I sat that *bloody* afternoon...I pretty near died of embarassment. Dang Aunt Flo really was nasty to me...even before she arrived, but that's a whole 'nother story!
That is embarrassing! I haven't had that happen in years. Thank God!
Oh you poor sweet thing! I would also have been mortified! I am open about a lot of stuff but I draw the line at surfin' the crimson.
I left you some lovin' at my place! Hope you're having a wonderful night!
Oh my goodness! at least you were around family versus complete strangers!!!
oh no!!!!! At least it was at home and with your parents!

I found you through Friday Follow - what a story, you poor thing! Yes, we've all 'inked', I'm sure - and that's a wonderful way to put it, I'm going to copy that -
There are too many embarrassing experiences of mine to share, but let me paint you a quick picture: Six Flags women's bathroom. Girl 1 (my best friend) standing outside a stall explaining to Girl 2 (me) how to insert a tampon. Cringe.
Now that funny indeed, We parents love to embarrassed you children, that's our job.,lol.
Here from Friday follows.

Oh goodness! It is a good thing it was at home on your own chair.
My daughter just received her first visit from that mean Aunt Flo last month. The other day she yells at me: Mom! Come look! I walk into the bathroom and she tells me to look. That it had went through to her pants. I told her that she has to change her little pantyliners more often than every 2 days (it was not really 2 days! more like 4 hours) and gave her one of my pads. I'm just glad she was at home, too!
Oh no!! I am sorry that happened to you! But seriously I can beat yours. I was in the 8th grade and this period thing was still new to me. And we were at my friends shore house with her family. And great Aunt Flo was with me too. She told me she used tampons and that I should to so I could go swimming. Ok sure. I use one and go swimming, eat, hang out all is good. After sitting around for awhile I get up to go get changed with my friend and go inside. Yea little did I know I "inked" the towel and chair I was sitting on and every one knew it. I didn't until I got into the bathroom! Very embarrassing!!!
Oh Keeley, that's funny but sad at the same time! I've had it happen plenty of times before too. :/ I haven't had any real embarrassing stories about my Uncle TOM if you know what I mean... But here' something silly involving a pad...
I keep an extra in my glove compartment of my car, and one time my friend and I were hanging out in my car, and my drink spills. We had no napkins or anything.. and guess what I busted out!? The pad, haha. Surprisingly, it soaked up the gigantic spill!
Oh so sorry - When I was about 14 I would go with my best friend and her family to her grandma's on weekends sometimes. We stopped at a store and I noticed - so I wrapped my undies with toilet paper and went out to ask to get my bag from the car - wanting to be discreet - she would not let me - she said get what you want and I will pay for it. I was to embarrassed - this was only like my second period and I did not want to talk about it. Luckily the paper lasted until we got to her grandmas and I snatched a pad out of my friends bag - again with out saying anything due to embarrassment - Thank goodness it only lasted that day and the next - I just knew she was going to say - what keeps happening to my pads!
Oooooh I have a good one! Aunt Flo came to visit at my ex-boyfriend (who I was trying to get back with)'s graduation, while wearing white pants! And I found out from HIS MOM who I was sitting next to during the ceremony! Luckily I was staying at a friend's that weekend, so I was able to run out of the graduation, speed to her house, change, and get back before they threw their caps!
I've had an unexpected visit from Aunt Flo too. In high school, in math class, with cream colored jeans. The classroom was on the other side of the school from the lunchroom. I walked, unawares, from class to lunch and into the overflowing lunch room before one of my friends saw me and pointed it out. She let me borrow a pair of sweatpants from her locker, but I still went home "sick" that day out of sheer embarrassment.
oh no, this is hilarious, you are to much keely. aunt flo is even funnier, never heard of that one. i usually call it "mercedes" in spanish, cause in spanish we call that time of the month "el mez" (the month) but "mercedes" sounds better if you're talking about in front of men. anywhoot, the same situation happened with me, but at the nars makeup counter at NORDSTROMS!!! Yup! You can just imagine not only my astonishment and EMBARRASMENT i was just doing a swing by to pick up my favorite blush, but the makeup lady was so nice and wanted to do makeup session with me and i just could'nt say no, but deep down inside i knew i should've said no and get home to change, cause AUNT FLO was coming DOWN HARD. i left as soon as the session was done, left without saying anything, i know, but what is a girl to do in that kind of situation? i mean it's never happened before. but i did call her as soon as i got in my car to let her know, but she already knew and was so gracious and said she totally understood and would have done the same thing...RUNNNNNNN!!! man...i cannot believe i just let this cat out of the bag, but it's cool. thanks for inspiring and allowing me to share, if i can say that.
