Why the hell get a cake and celebrate a girl bleeding for a week every month? What is there to celebrate. i have to agree about celebraing everything and recognizing someone for doing nothing. I mean its puberity. It is just something that happens. Did they at least get some money off for it being spelled wrong?
Well, in different clans and tribes as well as different religions, in the past as well as today, a girl getting her first period marks her as a woman. It’s certainly not unusual
You can also think of ceremonies for boys who become men.
When I got my first one, I was given a beautiful beaded bracelet representing womanhood.
Although, I agree, a cake is out there; which means it was probably a joke cake.
and dipshit that can’t read the incorrectly spelled cake..they spelled it “pereid”. should probably learn to read cursive,it might prove to be a useful skill some day.
As a woman who didn’t get cake her first period, I gotta say this was a good idea. After I got done with all the cramps and vomiting, I could totally go for a slice of misspelled cake! Right upside the head of whoever gave it to me.
and i thought it was bad when my mom called all my aunts to announce my new “friend” had finally showed up! Well at least she will have something good to tell her shrink!
This is great. My friend said her husband asked if he should go get their daughter a card or something, he thought is was a special occassion; I bet if he saw this cake, he would have bought it. For me, I was so embarassed I didn’t even want to tell my mother, much less have a cake announcing the
blessed event!
typical puritanical Americans. Little girls have to be ashamed of periods and it should never be talked about. Little boys have to be ashamed of getting erections when they are falling asleep in math class. These are natural animal bodily functions. Accept them and move on.
My father bought me flowers and took me out for ice cream when I started my period. He did that for my three sisters as well. At the time, I was a little embarrassed, but looking back at it, I am so glad he did. It is a huge milestone for young women and can be scary. I was glad to know it wasn’t something to be scared of, but rather something to be proud of.
That being said, I think I would have run out of the room crying if my father brought home a misspelled cake for me to show off to the family. At least the flowers stayed in my room and the ice cream was private.
you’d think whoever was behind this cake would have gone with dark red roses… you know to really bring the point home.
Maybe it was a light period?
Perhaps “peroid” is a code-name for something else…
They say that your Publix associates really know your family… I guess this is why.
“peroid” is spelled wrong.
Bwahahaha . Nice spelling there !
Oh brother,please tell me this is NOT REAL !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reminds me of something Eric and Annie from 7th Heaven would do. ;D
So goddamn typical of the entitlement generation.
An award or recognition for doing… NOTHING.
What’s a peroid?
Sorry, DeDe. Go google up the term Red Tent Party. This is actually one of the tamer cakes I’ve seen.
no wonder kids are SOOOO stupid today, just look at the parents!!

Ummmm…that doesn’t look like an “e” to me. Maybe *you* should learn to read cursive.
Especially before correcting someone else.
I poop blood once a day.

I think the roses should have been red.
That cake better be chocolate, damnit. >:\
I don’t care how it is spelled, I would have liked a cake……a chocolate cake…….

My mom bought me a teddy bear and let me stay home from school the day I got my first period. At 11, best thing ever.
If I have daughters, I’m just going to laugh at them when they start their periods because I’m evil like that. (Laugh and then sympathy and niceness).
