    "I have no idea what you are trying to say."
    I take a deep breath. "Rules are important, and we must understand them to get along in this world, but if we never think beyond the rules, we will miss a lot of opportunities.”
    Rebecca Rosenberg, Madame Pommery, Creator of Brut Champagne

    “George’s utterance of the nest and the trap belonged to a bigger mystery she did not yet understand. One day I will, she promised herself.

    “I was ten years old. I had noticed something was weird earlier in the day but I knew from commercials that one's menstrual period was a blue liquid that you poured like laundry detergent onto maxi pads to test their absorbency. This wasn't blue so...I ignored it for a few hours.

    When we got home I pulled my mom aside to ask if it was weird I was bleeding in my underpants. She was very sympathetic but also a little baffled. Her eyes said "Dummy didn't you read 'How Shall I Tell My Daughter ". I HAD read it but nowhere in the pamphlet did anyone say that your period was NOT a blue liquid.

    At that moment two things became clear to me I was now technically a woman and I would never be a doctor.”
    Tina Fey, Bossypants
