One way or another, our sons will encounter people on their periods throughout their lives: sisters, spouses, classmates, dates… the list goes on. So, it seems only logical that, as parents, we’d want to talk to them about what menstruation is and how it’s a totally natural thing that happens to people around them. Why not better prepare them so they don’t end up making fun of or traumatizing someone? After all, getting your period is traumatizing enough.

Belinda Hankins and her 13-year-old daughter, Bella, seem to have a great relationship, one that is often played out over text message.Sure they play around like most teens and parents do, but in between the joking and stealing of desserts, they're incredibly open and honest with each other. This is key, especially since Melinda is a single parent and thus is the designated teacher of "the ways of the world." But, wow, she is a champ at doing just that in the chillest way possible. Of course, it helps having an incredibly self-aware daughter who has grown up knowing she can be super real with her mom.Case in point, this truly epic text exchange took place over the weekend while Bella was hunting for tampons at the store. 

This is the best mother-daughter chat about the tampon aisle ever. Period.
