The Kotex Phase

Before you have kids you hear all about the phases your kids are going to go through…

You go to the doctor’s and they ask you all the questions to make sure your child is progressing the way he or she “should”…

Does she respond do your voice?

Is he sitting up?

Does she pull herself to standing?

You hear from your friends which stages are the worst…

The teething phase.

The terrible twos.

The potty training phase.

No, actually, the threes…they’re the worst…

But there are other phases that might better describe your children’s development.

I’ve described some of them before.

Well, I left one out.

And it is quite possibly the longest, most expensive, and most annoying phase of all.

For me anyway.

If you follow the facebook page then you are probably aware that I am deep in the throes of it right now.

It starts somewhere around the time your child becomes mobile.

And it lasts until you feel your kids are old enough to handle having a discussion about it.

It’s….

The feminine hygiene product stage.

I doesn’t really matter where you put them.

They will find them.

And destroy them.

They will use them for “little…

…diapers.”

They will conduct experiments with them.

They will play games with them.

They will accessorize with them.

They will

stick them

everywhere.

They will even make music with them.

Yes, this phase sucks.

It can be costly.

And hiding them can be challenging.

Scraping the sticky residue off a hardwood floor can be near impossible.

But the hardest part of this phase?

Knowing how to answer this question:

Mommy?  What are these things for???
