Six Word Memoir Meme
The ever amazing Trisha just tagged my arse for this thought provoking meme. I LOVED her answer and highly encourage you to check it out. I never thought I could do this. But, my six words came to me clearly, and instantaneously. How cool is that? Here’s the rules:
- Write a six-word memoir.
- Post it to your blog including a visual illustration if you would like.
- Link to the person who tagged you in your post and to this original post if possible so we can track it as it travels across the blogsphere .
- Tag 5 more blogs with links .
- Don’t forget to leave a comment in the tagged blogs with an invitation to play.
Here is my 6 word memoir:
“Motherhood turned me into a grown-up”.
◊ There it is. I was not a mature 21 year old girl woman. I was a sassy, suborned little brat that didn’t know squat. Having my son at 21 was the best thing that ever happened to me. I could go on forever here but I will just say- once he and I bonded, he became the center of my universe, and I moved out of the center. I should have never been there to begin with. What motherhood has taught me could move mountains.
OK, and now I tag:
Hey there, I put my meme up. Go check it out.
OOOOOOooooooh! I’m going, I’m going!!! Michelle! Great job!
Hmmm… what did I come up with? Let me go check… oh yeah, mine was “Always known as ‘the loud one.’” I guess it’s still true. Although, I am trying to be more quiet at work!
Loud, huh? The life of the party I think! It’s hard to be quiet at work, right? I’m always trying to make people laugh, or we are goofing and I burst out laughing with a snort! I have to really try. And yet, when I’m taking a call, I HATE IT WHEN people are laughing around me. It’s like, SHUT UP, I can barely hear! I’m such a bitch, right? I gotta work on that!
Excellent.
Why thank you! Yours is fine too! Walmart greeter
Great meme, Bella.

I loved your answer! I’m glad my mom tagged you because I wanted to but the stupid computer was misbehaving! I figured you would steal it from me if you weren’t tagged.
I liked that you used the word “grown-up” instead of “adult”. You commented on mine about my word choice, and I feel that yours was also deliberate. Well-done! (Cute photo too!)
Oh hells ya, I would have stole it from ya dear heart! I used grown-up because I’m surely not an adult- heee-heee-heeee! You are so great! I love our little chats!
AWESOME!!! Kids certainly change your life. I didn’t have my first until I was 30 years old though we had been married for ten years. We just didn’t want kids right away. But I am glad I had them, both of them, even the one that causes me the pain I adore with all my heart.
Your 6 little words tell so much about you. I love the photo you picked also.
Thanks Joan. Of course ya love your son, that’s why it causes you pain; life is tricky sometimes. He’s very lucky to have you- and you are lucky to have them both too, your daughter seems like a little angel. I love you!
I’m hearing you! By the time I was 21 though, I’d had 3..there are positives to having your kids as young as I did though. These days I have 3 friends as opposed to 3 daughters you know?
It’s wicked fun!
That’s awesome! I didn’t know you had them before you turned 21- you are amazing! Yes, definite advantages to having them early (also to having them late- whatever anyone chooses to do, there is not right or wrong) but I find it so heartwarming to hear you say you have 3 friends as opposed to 3 daughters. You are so lucky! I pray to heaven I’m as close to mine and they still wanna be my friend too!
I agree with you 100%. I was having this conversation with my dad last night, and I told him that having my son made me the woman that I am today. I grew up! Cool post!
That’s great. It’s very true for me too. You are so lucky to be able to have those conversations with your dad. COOL!
love your quote, love the illustration!
what a perfect way to say it JQ!
Odette, my heart is sing’n a happy song today for a few reasons, and your happiness is one of them
Love you and thank you!
VERY GOOD. It amazes me how varied and unique these can be! (However, I did this meme awhile ago and don’t remember what I wrote… I’m going to go look it up now.)
Oh, you should and come and tell me – also, if it’s changed from when you wrote it to now? Interesting. We are all so lucky to have our blogs- a neat way to look back, huh?
Stunning memoir – so mature and insightful! Well done girl.
It’s about time I growed up! LOL! LOL! Thank you so much Wendy!
Yours is great – it really says a lot about how much your love your family, how much they mean to you
I posted one a while ago… I had a really hard time coming up with something!
Oooooooohhhhhhhhh! I’d love to see what you came up with and if/how it may have changed?
Beautiful,JQ! I knew you could do it!! That was perfection!
I know exactly what you mean; having a child changes you forever, mostly in good ways.
For me, it was all good ways. I never knew how out of touch with reality was and I got to experience a lot of new things for the first time through them. Especially my first David. It was just he and I pal’n around for 4 years while Scott was working his tail off. Thanks. This was actually easy for me. I LOVED YOURS SO MUCH THOUGH TRISHA! You are so unique and your 6 word memoir is brilliant!
Great memoir! Thanks for the tag. I’ll do this one soon and will let you know.
Great, it’ll be great to see what your memoir sentence is
Thank you!
I love your memoir JQ! It’s beautiful! **HUGS**
Right back at you SJ! Thank you, cannot wait to see what you come up with!
