While taking a little break to do some online holiday shopping, I spent a few minutes salivating over the Vosges truffles with Kathy.

Kathy: dude. chocolate. of. the. month. club.

Joelle: see, every woman should have that. that is the perfect gift.

Kathy: it should be given to you at birth.

Joelle: right? or like, for your first period.

Joelle: it should be a right of passage.

Can you imagine?  After your mom (or whomever) gives you a moderately uncomfortable Talk about the Birds and the Bees, followed by a truly horrifying tampon demonstration, she presents you with a congratulatory gift… of chocolate.  It seems the least one could do, as really, it’s more of a consolation prize.  “You get to bloat, bleed, whine and otherwise act like total psychopath once a month until you’re 50.  Mazeltov!”

I’d take it, though — I’m not stupid.
