    Word Choice: Three word responses

    One of my Plurk buddies suggested ignoring Twitter's 140 character limit and going for the three word statement. Brevity is, after all, the hardest trait to master.

    Or is it?
    Good morning, all!
    How are you?
    Life goes on.
    Son has fever.
    He feels achy.
    Too much sun?
    Final exams looming.
    He's resting now.
    Listening to NPR.

    Maybe the six word memoirs style would be more effective.
    No sun today; scattered showers instead.
    Cool breeze here; feels so refreshing.
    Husband cooked brunch; delicious as usual.
    Basic weekend chores; laundry, report cards.

    Life is good.

    Your six word ones are like Haiku.

    I like them!

    I'm sorry Amigo's not doing well. Ugh. Like your three word challenge, though.
