ONE FOR THE LADIES... (NO MEN REQUIRED)

[Bluestone]

I've ummmed and arhhhed about putting this on here, but here goes...
I was listening to the radio yesterday (Radio 4, approx 15.30 ish) and they were talking about when a girl starts her period.
There were parents (mainly Mums) on there saying how they'd thrown a party for them, or were planning to. One Mum even said she'd made a... er... cake, though I can't bring myself to tell you what the cake was called.
There were lots of parents on there saying how they'd invited their friends and family over, when it happened to their daughters.
Personally, I find this very, very, VERY weird.
Is it just me, or was I denied something?

I remember reading this in a Judy Blume book when I was a teenager and thinking if my mum did it I'd have to run away from home
