“Adulthood snuck up and yelled, ‘Boo.’ The Best Six-Word-Memoirs of the Week
Friday, August 24th, 2012
As summer comes to a close, we at SMITH can’t help but get a little sappy. After all, there’s nothing wrong with a little sentimentality, right? As you read this week’s Six-Word Memoirs, don’t be afraid to let your nostalgic side show.
Most Suggestive: “Not losing hair. Finding it everywhere.” - treehugger
Worst Free Vacation: “I’m on an all-expenses-paid guilt-trip.” - Believe
Scariest Transition: “Adulthood snuck up and yelled, “Boo.” - The Angsty Poet
Most Unexpected Backstory: “35 year love affair culminated tonight.” - marymc (image above)
Best Wordplay: “I procrastinate; therefore, I do not.” - Bevvie

Plus: Hey teachers and students! SMITH is now taking submissions for our forthcoming book of illustrated Six-Word-Memoirs by students of all ages, a new eBook with the folks at the TED conference.
Wow, never visit this part of SMITH. Very flattered that “Adulthood snuck up and yelled ‘Boo.’” is the best memoir of the week
good ones as usual!

Congrats to all. Excellent choices, Larry.
