"I'm not a child." Jessica repeated. "Look, would a child know about ..."
The woman listened with open mouths as Jessica explained in detail about her monthly cycle, how to use a tampon, how to insert a diaphragm, and how to apply a condom. She only got partway through that last topic before the women erupted in rage.
"You shouldn't know anything about any of that!"
"She must have an older sister."
"No, an older cousin."
"She must have been spying on an older girl's sleepover."
Jessica tried to talk, but no one heard her as they were all talking at once. Each of them was saying how inappropriate it was for Jessica to know anything about those subjects. Finally, Mrs. Waterfield took control of the situation.
"I had planned to give her a taste over her shorts, but now she's earned more." Mrs. Waterfield declared. "That girl needs a real rump roasting followed by a mouthful of soap."
Jessica's heart sank as all the other women agreed with Mrs. Waterfield. There went her best chance to convince them that she was an adult. If they thought she was a child with forbidden knowledge then there was nothing else she could say to convince them.
