A new book, Not Quite What I Was Planning, is proof that it only takes six words to tell a story. This collection features stories from people of all background and professions, cramming their memoirs into six words. It got us thinking… Could our child care tales be told with such brevity?

Here are a few examples of six-word memoirs you’ll find in the book:
Plumber: Fix a toilet, get paid crap
Dominatrix: Woman Seeks Men — High Pain Threshold
Stephen Colbert: Well, I thought it was funny.
Mario Batali: Brought it to a boil, often.

What about you?

A tip from the editors: Be specific and “don’t think too hard.”

So tell us a six-word story about one of your more memorable child care experiences.

Here are a few (neither inspiring nor clever) examples:
Spaghetti sauce. White walls. No mercy.
Everything that could go wrong did.
Thank god for early bed times.
Finally beat Timmy at Guitar Hero.
Uh, where did the hamster go?

We’re sure you’ve got better!
