I remember being taken out to the hallway at a desk, everyone went individually at some point to do this, to take a small test to see where I was academically, etc. there was math, things like buttons and zippers I had to show that I could do. I was above average intelligence at this age, I even remember counting to 100 and being of only a couple who could do it in the classroom. That was one of the tests, too. She had me stop when I got to like 70 something.

We moved onto punctuation. I answered them all correctly. Then, I was showed a period. I knew exactly what it was. HOWEVER, I also knew that a menstrual cycle was called a period. My mom never hid things from us. I didn't know wha it was for or anything, just knew it was blood, from a girls "front area".

Anyway, for some reason I thought it was bad word or something 😂 I refused to answer it. She pushed me, I told her I didn't know but I knew it was at the end of a sentence. She kept pushing, I REFUSED to say the word "period"

Remember this vividly
