"six word" memoir contest

Smith Magazine is hosting a Six Word memoir contest.

Says the website:
"Legend has it that Ernest Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in six words. The result was, 'For sale: baby shoes, never used.'"
My favorites so far include:

"He wore dresses. This caused messes." – Josh Kilmer-Purcell

"Shy Jersey kid, overcompensating ever since." – Ariel Kaminer

"My family is overflowing with therapists." – Shaina Feinberg

"Big hair, big love, big hurry." – Larry Smith

These people all seem to be from New York City.

I'll let you know when I think of mine.
