What's your short story in 6 words? Go!

I was recently reminded of the power of telling a story in 6 words or less.

In a Wired article written in 2006 (link below), they mentioned how Hemingway once wrote a story in just six words - "For sale: baby shoes, never worn." Hemingway is said to have called this his best work. So let's do this TED style.

Tell me a short story about YOU in 6 words.

Here's my go at it.
Someone says no. I say yes.
