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.
