True... I'll admit this even though it'll prove how nerdy I was, but in 6th grade, I was still playing with Barbie. I didn't know what any kinds of kisses were outside my mom's goodnight kiss on my cheek. I was 11 in 6th grade.

When I married my husband, his youngest was in 6th grade and she knew LOTS of stuff. I almost fell over when she said some of the stuff she did. It wasn't just her, all of her friends said the same stuff. She was 12 in 6th grade.

I remember being in 6th grade and my mom having a hard time finding nice shoes for my Confirmation. We needed dressy shoes more grown up than the Mary Janes that seemed to be available, but my feet didn't fit adult sizes. She went nuts looking for something more appropriate to someone my age. Now, you walk into any kids shoes store and find a ton of strappy, sexy shoes. I saw HEELS the other day.
