Going with the Flow

Late Thursday night, I got back to the home home after my parents' had already fallen asleep. It'd only been a couple of weeks since I'd been there so I didn't expect much of a change. I was therefore surprised to find a big shopping bag in my room, filled with little boxes.

Boxes of tampons. Apparently, Mother is not only crazy, but she hangs out with crazy people. They're attracted to each other by scent. A friend of her friend likes to stockpile on things like feminine hygiene products. She, however, has hit menopause and now finds herself without any use for her boxes. So my mother took them in. Because she has a use for them. That use being to pass along to her daughter. I've shopped at Costco, people, and this is beyond Costco. I have 15 boxes of tampons. Mother suggested I "give them away to friends to share."

So, friends, if anyone needs a box, just give a holler. It'll be the best present from my mom's friend's friend to my mom to me and that I could pass onto you.
