Your 6-word memoir

The other day I was inspired by John Mayer’s 6-word memoir: “this heart didn’t come with instructions.” (via twitter – yes, I follow his tweets:)

My fave 6-word memoir ever is: “born black. married white. died human.” -author unknown

other notable funny ones:

-even public restrooms rejected my poems

-my soulmate has whiskers and paws

-sperm too potent, now have triplets

-never really finished anything… except cake

-well I thought it was funny – Stephen Colbert

-catholic school backfired! Sin is in!

-the psychic said I’d be richer

just google “6-word memoir” & you’ll find a host of laugh-out-loud, sad & striking 6-word memoirs.

So, Dave & I got to thinking about ours together.  My uber-creative husband came up with his in less than 10 minutes.  And if you know him, you will know this is perfect:

“I meant to get to that.”

Here was my first go at it: “conficted by race, living by grace.”

So go ahead, give it a shot & let me know what you come up with…
