I thought about writing a poem today. But then I came across Jennifer Flyod’s Six-Word Story Slice of Life post and I reconsidered my plan. Believe it or not, I haven’t done much Six-Word Story work so I Googled it to learn more. (Click here for to my favorite summary of what they are.) So, as a recently-ordained boy mama, here goes:
He’s teaching me to play trucks.
I hope you’re practicing all of the necessary and appropriate accompanying truck/engine sounds.
Not yet. But I have Cars Go, Diggers Go, Trains Go, and Trucks Go by Steve Light so I need to get those out to up my game!
I love the 6-word stories! Sometimes you can get on a roll and lose track of the time!
Six words can tell a lot.
So sweet! Looks like fun!
I’m thinking about using these in my class soon, so I’ve been playing with them, too. Maybe I’ll join the bandwagon & publish mine today 🙂
Shoot me an email once they’re up so I don’t miss it!
Wussed out this week. Somehow I’m finding them very hard – an odd perfectionist streak sets in and I can’t quite publish… so I wrote about my students and their reading. Maybe next week…
I almost chickened out. I didn’t get mine “right,” but I’m going to try again. Seeing growth over time is good.
I love this story (and Ari will love seeing this one day, too)! The pictures are a perfect addition! I’m so glad that you joined me in writing one of these stories!
I love six word memoirs. I am always reminded of how important and powerful word choice can be!
You will be glad to have the words and pictures, even though the memory will always be there. I can close my eyes and see my grubby little son playing in the dirt with his Tonka dump truck on a hot summer day. And it was decades ago…
Six word memoirs – Such a great exercise in choosing words carefully. I think you succeeded – with your words and in your truck playing!
Choosing the right six words can tell a powerful story. IO think your words tell a perfect story. I agree with Lisa, sound effects are an important part of playing trucks.
I love the 6 word memoirs but I think it’s very difficult! Not a quick write for me and I give up too easily!
Love it! I was looking at tractors for a baby shower gift! So many important “wheels” in the playing life of a child!
