My father always used to call my mother�s period her �WarPath.� I used to amuse myself by imagining crimson paint and swirling designs over the bright copper skin of her face. Today when I wear my very own war paint, I am annoyed with my father for his euphemism. Today I am able to have completely forgiven my mother had she, with a rain dance and tribal weapon attacked the more barren of the species. He used to smirk and wink at my brother and say, �Women.� And now how I wish my mother had been an Amazon. But mostly it seems unfair to me that women must go to war each month. .
