My ds1 saw me put a panty liner in my knickers this morning which I do when I am expecting my period. He has seen me do this many times before but never commented. He asked me why I was doing it and before I could answer he got distracted by ds2 and then forgot about it.
What should I tell him if he asks again? I'd like to tell him the truth, or as near to it as possible but am not sure how to go about it or how much information to give him. He finds "boobs" and "knickers" very funny at the moment especially when he is giggling with his friends. He will be 6 in August.
Any ideas ?
