Debbie took a moment to check in on Nicole and to try to calm her down. Debbie, on the other hand, was panicking on the inside. This is NOT the talk she wanted to be having with her daughter right now.
She came back to Steve in the master bedroom, "Slight emergency, uh, Nicole's having her first period and I just can't handle it right now," she says with a slight paleness to her face while unknowingly mimicking her own mother's face many years ago. Steve closed his eyes for a second, then stood up, walked to the bathroom door and calmly told Nicole that everything was going to be okay, that bleeding was normal for girls, and that there were pads under the sink and there should be instructions on the wrapper or in the box. Then he said, "I'll be back in a minute, Nicki," and returned to the master bedroom.
"Don't they teach kids about these things in school, Deb?" Steve asked.
Debbie shook her head, digging through a pile of papers on their desk, "They're only teaching about it one-on-one in the nurse's office," she says, reading from a newly-found paper, "only with this permission slip and only once they've started and we send supplies along to the school for them."
"Why doesn't the school have supplies and that permission slip, then?" Steve questioned.
Debbie huffed a bit, trying to hide her disdain for even discussing menstruation and puberty, and snapped back, "I'm a busy mom to THREE kids, a HEAD nurse and a WIFE. I'm trying the best I can, Okay? Some things slip through the cracks."
Steve, stopped in his tracks by the snapping turtle that was his wife, quickly abandoned that line of questioning. He thought aloud, "So these kids don't even know what is going to happen to them without a form? And, I mean, even the guys in her class... I know guys are immature dickheads at that age, but when do they learn about this stuff?"
A light goes off in Steve's head while looking at the shrink ray on his nightstand.
