Life in six words

I discovered: Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs by Famous & Obscure writers at the library. The following list is from the book. I picked memoirs focused on parenting.


Surrounded by girls, birthed boys, bewildered.
-Nancy Friedman
`
Sweet wife, good sons--I'm rich
-Roger Waggener
`
Four children in four decades; whew!
-Loretta Serrana
`
Trains, planes, thumb; then children come.
-Karen Franklin
`
Artsy married Fartsy, has two kids.
-Mary Organ
`
Six kids; life stranger than fiction!
-Deborah Carson
`
Chemistry? No. Law? No. Motherhood? Yes!
-Anneliese Dickman
`
I answer to the name Mom.
-Lynne Chesterton
`
Unborn baby, dancing belly, arriving soon.
-Tami Piccione
`
Accidents cause people--son is wonderful.
-Laurie Reinhart
`
Green eyes, freckled skin, waiting womb.
-Heather Thompson
