On the first day of the 6th grade, the most important decision a newly graduated 5th grader has to make during the summertime is what he will wear the very first day of 6th grade. After much consideration, I decided on a blue Florida Gators t-shirt, with matching blue Florida Gators shorts (tucked in, mind you), the ones with the Gator sewn on the left leg trim? [ thought I was the man. First day, an older girl sat next to me on the bus and we had a small talk: Me: Yeah, I'm excited for the first day. Her: What's up with your shorts? Me: What do you mean? We got them on vacation, they are the Florida Gators. Her: No. I can see. OMG, Is that your underwear? Me: What? Huh? This next line will haunt me for the rest of my life. Her: OMG, you are wearing boxer shorts as shorts! I was in 6th grade. I didn't know what boxer shorts were.
