I woke up this morning…

…thinking of something that happened in the 1950's and then ran straight into this paragraph in the Washington Post:

Eight-to-12-year-old girls are the largest growth market for the cosmetics industry, with tweens spending $40 million a month on beauty products, according to Pinkstinks, a nonprofit aimed at fighting gender bias in the beauty industry. And at least 80 percent of U.S. tweens use beauty products, a 2016 report by the trend-forecasting group Mintel found.

How much sense does that even make?

When I was in the 7th grade girls weren't even invented yet.

(Well

OK, one was. Maybe.

But otherwise.)
