Well, I wasn't.
I mean, my only knowledge of the menopause was what my mom told me, essentially.
What did she tell you?
My mom told me that she laughed her way through the menopause.
Oh, amazing.
But she didn't.
This is the thing.
This is what she told me.
And I kind of believed her because she was a funny woman.
Very clever, very funny.
And she said, oh, I laughed my way through it.
And I believed her just because she said it.
And I believed everything my mum said.
But now I look back and I don't think she was, I think she was actually quite depressed then.
And I didn't see it.
I certainly didn't see it as being part of the menopause because I didn't have a clue.
I just thought she was depressed.
But when it came to the menopause, she laughed her way through it.
I didn't connect the two.
And now I realize she wasn't at all laughing her way through it.
