"A 6-year-old me" or "6-year-old me" or "a 6 year old me"?

Hi guys,

I'm not sure which version is correct:

"A 6-year-old me" – hyphenated & with an indefinite article

• "A 6 year old me" – with an indifinite article, but not hyphenated

• "6 year old me" - without in indifinite article & not hyphenated

• "6-year-old me" – hyphenated, but without an indifinite article


To give some context, this chunk will be used in this sentece: "I remember (a) 6 year old me playing XYZ and always being hyped af when his song came on."


Thank you so much:)

T A N Y Aalways being hyped af

Avoid vulgarities unless you are trying to be vulgar for a good reason, and euphemisms like this leave you nowhere. Write it out if you must use it. Anyway, few will know what you mean here. It looks like a typo to the uninitiated.
