Ok I am bored. And when I am bored you guys benefit because I blog more and I blog more interesting and funny posts. Muhahaha self-praise is the best praise of them all, I say.

Anyway.

I just finished my dinner (yes, dinner.). It was a very unhealthy and fattening McSpicy Double burger. Darn, I'd forgotten how spicy it was.

I was just trying to remove some of the lettuce from inside the burger (you would have thought lettuce was free, the AMOUNT they put in this one. and it tasted extra awful, too.) and suddenly my youngest brother (who was devouring a similar burger beside me on the dining table) said to me:

"Mummy said that her menstruation is coming soon."

I dropped the whole lot of lettuce onto the dining table.

He nonchalantly continued "She said she felt very hot, and said it means her menstruation is coming."

I said (in the midst of frantically picking the lettuce from the table) "How come you know all this?"

To which he happily replied "We were talking about it. She said she got her monthly problem and when I asked what that was she said it's menstruation-"

My mother and brother talk. about. menstruation. My brother is ten.

I'd had enough. I said in disgust "Can we NOT talk about this at the dinner table?!"

"Ok." (continues devouring his burger happily, commenting on how yummy it is from time to time)

I do feel a sense of pride, though. Many males go through their entire lives being unable to even say the word "period" without sounding like a spluttering engine. And here I have my brother at the tender age of ten, bravely uttering the word "menstruation".

As I was typing away just now, my mum came into my room and asked me not to put my laptop on my lap. She said will become infertile. ???????!!!!!!!! And started a stern lecture on how some mothers-in-law just have to have grandchildren and how I would be so screwed if I became infertile.

Welcome to my life. When the funniest things happen in the space of a half-hour.
