A gal from my parenting board posted this article about Six-Word Memoirs. It’s actually really challenging to think about, especially because they can be written flippantly all the way to profoundly. (It’s also difficult for some of us who are not good friends with brevity.)
I’m going to post a couple I thought of; they are neither top-of-the-head nor overly-edited. Share yours if you come up with any.
Brain chatter’s often louder than reality
Loves everyone most of the time
Skip pets, go straight to kids
Farm idealism stuck in city heart
Not omniscient and grateful for it
Bravado can bluff only so long
Social and introvert completely and confusingly
Air and books are enough sometimes

How ’bout: Bring it on, you bitches? Oh, that’s only five. I was counting syllables. Ok, ok: Bring it on, you big bitches.
We’re still in FL right now, will be back in D-land on Thursday. I brought something for you that I will stick in the mail tomorrow, promise. No, really, I do!

no fun when worried about tomorrow
chasing after youth leads to wrinkles
daughter, friend, sister, girlfriend, wife, mother?
an expensive degree wasted on motherhood
