It's not often a web video about having your first period will make a 50ish dad burst out laughing at his computer, not once, but multiple times. But HelloFlo's video for their first period kit is very, very funny – especially if you're a parent who ever fantasized about setting up an epic embarrassment for one of your kids after they've lied to you.
The basic premise is that the young girl in the video is tired of waiting for her first period. All her friends already have blossomed and she hasn't. So she fakes it and carries on the story beyond the initial lie. So, her mom tells her it's family tradition to throw a "first moon" party, complete with family, friends and mom's co-workers. It has games like pin the pad on the period, bobbing for ovaries and more – much to the horror of the young girl, who finally fesses up.
The video is very well done and has become a viral sensation. So, you may have seen it already. I saw it right after I posted last week's ad of the week or it would have been my choice then. Enjoy!
