Eleven-year-old Georgiana Crimsworth experiences some abdominal pain before bed and then finds blood on her sheets. Her worst nightmare is coming true- she's dying! Of course, Georgiana's imagination took off to envision the absolute worst outcome. And even when her mother tries to explain, her presumptions only get worse. The horror! You might find it amusing (I did), but this happens all too often. As adults, we forget what it's like to be a child with no experience or context. Pain and blood equal dying if you don't know any other reason for it, so what Georgiana thought was perfectly reasonable. And that's why parents must think ahead and prepare children with what they need to know. The comments at YouTube are full of similar stories because girls weren't prepared early enough.
