  Yes, it’s an abridgement of the most mundane 6 word story:

  For sale: baby shoes, too small.

    Isn’t it: For sale: baby shoes, never worn

      That’s the saddest 6 word story.

        Not sure if you’re just doing the prompt or really asking, but I’ve never heard the 6 word story given a name, so I’m not sure

    But how is this a sad story? Babies grow so fast that they easily can skip a size… Am I missing the point?

    And, wouldn’t this be the real sad story? “For sale, baby shoes, too big”

    Implying that the baby died before it could grow into said shoes?

      Yes, a little. The original was: For sale, baby shoes, never worn.

      It’s decidedly not sad – I specifically said it was the most mundane 6 word story.
