Zoe: hey everyone Welcome to the first episode of squirt this season. we have a very exciting topic for your all toda. Something that I can’t believe we never covered. It had come up in so many conversations And so many different episodes but we had never had an episode on this topic. Today’s episode will be about menstruation!!
Bethany: I don’t know if the actually episode will be called menstruation nation
London: no we should definitely keep it that way
Zoe: today we will be getting into periods! Wooo yay, cuz the fish yo bloods
Bethany: it’s like the fucking shining when you open the door and ducking blood comes out
London: I watch the shining like four times in class
Bethany: it was preparing you for this episode
London: true true. It all fits because my period was just last week
Zoe: I am here today with my favorite people that run this show otherwise known as the co host
Betany: wooooo
Zoe: in this episode we will be talking about periods and we will be talking about our first periods. How much information did you know about your periods when you first had yours?
Bethany; I had a little information about it, well I had an idea of what it was like I didn’t know what the fuck it was. Like I thought I was dying but I knew what it was
London: that was me but I didn’t think I was dying I didn’t know what was going on. I got my period before they separated the girls And boys in my school to talk to the girls about periods And shit. They do it at late for the girls who have their period early
Bethany: yea they do it late. I know kids that had their periods at 9
London: yea well anyways I just told my mom what was going on and she was like oh it was your period
Bethany: yea I was 12 when I first got mine and you know, in the older period stage, I fell like evryobe I know started it around 13 or maybe just the average. It is just the genetic blood that comes out of you. Luckily my mom didn’t have a problem with me using tampons, I had a bigger sister in the house so there was a lot of supplies about the house
London: Zoe get into it
Zoe; okay so anyways before we really dive into things, what are y’all smoking?
Bethany: I got my old faithful bomb right here. Imma say it’s cherry pie. Cherry pie is either this one or the last one I had. But this one is one of my nicer ones. This was $25 for an eighth, it’s alright
London: imma be straight up and say I don’t know but the only reason is because I took this from my mother’s stash. Don’t do this if you don’t know the person. Don’t smoke from someone if you don’t know what they are smoking or don’t know what it is but i trust my mom And she gets her stuff from a bougie store anyways because, you don’t have to keep this in, but we live in Maryland so it’s technically legal, you need a legal card. My Mom gets it from the medical card anyways so I know it’s safe but anyways don’t smoke shit you don’t know
Zoe: I love that well for my story, it is unwell craxy. I made like ten friends this week. Isn’t that crazy
