....My classmates and I went inside and marveled at the carvings (or picked our noses; I don't remember). As we exited, another teacher pulled me aside and asked me if I had my period. I said yes. Her expression changed instantly and in a terrifying, angry voice, she told me this: "How did you go inside the temple then? Don't you know you're not supposed to? Hasn't your mother told you that you can't step inside a temple when you have your period? Call your mother tomorrow; I want to meet her!"
