Six-Word Memoirs: The Legend

From Smith Magazine:
Legend has it that Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in only six words. His response? “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” Last year, SMITH Magazine re-ignited the recountre by asking our readers for their own six-word memoirs. They sent in short life stories in droves, from the bittersweet (“Cursed with cancer, blessed with friends”) and poignant (“I still make coffee for two”) to the inspirational (“Business school? Bah! Pop music? Hurrah”) and hilarious (“I like big butts, can’t lie”).

Here's my invitation to all of you to publish your six-word story. Click comment and write it. I'll soon be doing it in my A2 class - but I thought you'd like the idea too! And you can also publish it (them) at the Smith Magazine website mentioned above. I already have a couple of my own but I'll wait for yours first! :) Go for it!!
