Six Word Theater

Six Word Theater

Click here for last week's entry.



Inspired by the challenge Hemingway undertook to tell a story
in six words("For Sale: baby shoes. Never worn.”), I attempt
to polish my skills by telling a six-word story or phrase each
Wednesday.

I encourage you to feel free
to "continue the story" or start your own.

Today's entry:



Dad still makes breakfast for two.
