Come on, what's not to love? It's a yummy cookie, and while you munch on it a little slip of paper inside gives you a compliment or some good advice. What more could you want out of life?
My parents and I have a loose tradition- every Thursday is sometimes Chinese food night. And with our usual order of sweet and sour chicken, vegetables and tofu, and some mysterious dish my dad orders (he actually gets something different every time. I mean, who does that?) And as every American knows, with Chinese food comes fortune cookies! :)
Over time, I've accumulated an impressive collection of fortunes, which I keep in a ceramic dish shaped like an ice cream cone on my desk. (I have somewhat of a sweet tooth if you couldn't tell.) I have fortunes from your classic "Your present plans are going to succeed" to the confusing "Happiness is the key to knowledge" to the hilarious "An admirer is too shy to meet you. Be on the look out and make the first move!"
Here is a list of some of my favorite fortunes I've gotten...
"Good clothes open many doors. Go shopping!"
"You are tasting the sweets of success"
"You have an ability to sense and know higher truth"
"You are vigorous in words and action"
"A carrot a day, may keep cancer away"
"Old dreams never die they just get filed away"
"You have an unusually magnetic personality"
"Confucius say: show-off always shown up in showdown."
"You will soon be involved in many gatherings and parties."
"It is a nice day :)"
"Photographic memory! Remember to put in film, or its digital!?"
"You are demonstrative with those you love"
"The night life is for you"
Have you ever had any interesting fortune cookie fortunes? Comment and let me know!
Once when we were eating Chinese food, my dad opened his fortune cookie. I asked him what it said, and he replied jokingly:
"Help, I'm being held captive in a fortune cookie factory!!!"
My mom got one once that said, "An angry man closes his eyes and opens his mouth." Which my brother and I repeated back to her everytime she got upset with us for a week...
