Quote from Rose in End of the Curse
Blanche: Oh, men are so lucky. They never get periods in the first place. So they never have to go through any of this. Dorothy: They blame us for being crazy when we get 'em and crazy when we don't. Rose: I remember the first time I got my period, nobody had told me anything about it. Boy was I surprised. Blanche: Your mother didn't tell you? Rose: My mother was very prim and proper. Dorothy: Oh, what a surprise.
