I had to go so bad that I knew if I stood in the checkout line for anything over three minutes that I was going to urinate all over the Target tile floors. I reassured myself before leaving home that wearing a pad was the best thing to do because my period symptoms have been raging. I politely told my mother-in-law to keep a close eye on my son before powerwalking to the ladies' restroom with my pocketbook on my shoulder.
