Me: Ugh. Cramps.
J: What's wrong?
Me: I just have cramps.
J: From what?
Me: From my period.
J: Oh. How many times does that happen? Like, once a year?
Me: Try once a month.
J: Oh, that's too bad. But then it means you can have babies, right?
Me: Sort of. Yes, yes, I guess that's basically what it means.
J: It's sort of like, "you get to have babies, but you have to have this bad thing happen to get the prize, which is the babies." So, it's like a curse.
Me: Did you just say the period is like a curse?
J [defensively]: Well, it is!! Kind of, you know?
Me: Did you hear it called the curse somewhere?
J: No, but it kind of makes sense, doesn't it?
