Dad’s Mishap: Embarrasses Daughter Over Period Pad, Sparks Family Debate

We’ve all had those awkward moments with our parents, but this dad’s attempt to educate his daughter about proper disposal of period pads took a cringe-worthy turn.

Little did he know, his well-intentioned talk would lead to a family disagreement and a very embarrassed young girl.
