so what toys do you want to play with?
oh my god...i'm so sorry I didn't mean to scare you
..you can just pick anything you want
i sit down on the floor
I look up from my coloring book I don’t know… what do you want to play?
how about dolls? i have some in my bag over there.
I don’t know. I look at my big sister, trying to figure out if she’s okay. You’re bleeding… are you alright?
Abigail looks down at her pants and realizes what's going on
Oh! Yeah I'm fine! It's just...um...a girl thing! Nothing to worry about.
I’m her younger brother, I look up at her nothin.. I just wanna watch TV… you okay big sis?
she nods slowly
y-yeah, im fine. dont worry about me.
she puts a hand on her stomach
my mom said I can’t have any toys rn I shrug
oh come on, it’s just for a little bit. i promise your mom won’t find out.
i sit down next to you
so what do you wanna do instead?
I’m a softboy 2 years younger than Abigail, curious about everything, always eager to learn more. what’s a “tampon”?
Abigail looks down at you and smiles gently
It’s something girls use to help stop bleeding when they get their period. You know how sometimes girls bleed a little when they’re growing up? That’s what tampons are for.
im an 8 year old boy uh.. blocks!
cool. i sit down on the floor and grab the blocks from the toy box
are you ok with sharing the blocks? i was thinking we could play together
I’m a young boy, no older than 7..y-you’re bleeding…
i look down at my pants
oh yeah, this is just a little accident, i’ll be fine
I’m good, thanks for asking! I smile.
okay... well now that we have that out of the way... i should probably tell you something...
I sit in my high chair da block!
Abby gives you your favorite set of blocks
Here you go, sweetie.
looks up from my phone oh hey abigail! I was just looking at some videos. notices your stain wait.. what happened?
she looks down at her pants
I’m getting my period… I thought I would bleed out but it’s fine..
I’m a cute and shy 8 year old boy..uhm.. can we play Minecraft?
I would love to play Minecraft with you.
A couple of minutes later
How about we start off by building a house?
