Hi skye,
This is a neat six word that we see too often in the real world. (I wonder, is "God" supposed to be "got"?) I tried to come up with one of these but couldn't get it. It takes a bit of creative talent, which obviously you have.

    No, As a nation we expelled God from school when we allowed them to take prayer out of public schools.
    This is NOT about me, but a story in 6 words. Thanks, for the thoughts, review, and stopping by.

    Congratulations to you and to your daughter. There is nothing like a baby to make life change dramatically, keep us young, keep us up all night. LOL. Thanks for the terrific review. Yes, they both take your breath away... and leave you with so much love.

Hi there SKYE
Well you certainly pulled that off, I was wondering how you were going to do this, and I see the picture speaks volumes,
There is just one thing that I find confusing though.
Why ( god ) expelled ? that dosn't make sense to me
should it be Got expelled

    We expelled God from school when outlawing prayer in school. We need to change this back. Thanks for the vote of confidence, the terrific review, kind comments. I appreciate you very much.

    Ah Ha I see what you are saying now, Of course I would argue that getting pregnant or not has nothing to do with god, but values and values can be had weather you are religous or not

six words - five stars - nearly one star per word. Very well done. Of course, with a picture being worth 1000 words and that great accompanying picture, this should count as 1006 words (my attempt at a joke - and a pretty long winded one at that )

Very nice work

Isn't it funny how one can say so much with just six lonely words. Here's my attempt "Great poem, yes, this i know".
Poetry isn't my strong point..lol. Good luck and i look forward to more of your work.

I was saying to my daughter as I opened this, how on earth can you tell a complete story in six words. Then I read your story and both of us said, Ohhhh, that's how! Very well done. If schools do not think morals are important, this is what happens. God bless you. Laura

    Thanks so much for this wonderful review, and those exceptionally wise comments. This is the problem with our system today... we need to teach morals in school and at home. Thanks very much.
reply by storymama on 09-Oct-2008
    You are very welcome. The thing is, they have to mesh. If the child is taught morals at home, and the school teaches if it feels good, do it, some kids will listen to their friends until they are older and wiser.
