Dear Friends;
Last night I had Chinese take out. Happily, after the meal I opened the little cellophane wrapper that held my cookie and fortune. I love fortune cookies. More than horoscopes, I think.
I opened the wrapper, broke open the cookie, pulled out the fortune and crammed what I thought was the empty half of the cookie into my salivating mouth.
Pfffffttttt… Paper. I pushed out the tiny bit with my tongue and looked to see what was printed on it. “People”. Just that one word. “People”.
I looked at the rest of the fortune in my other hand as I consumed the rest of the cookie. “Enjoy your company”. Uh- huh. I am sure they do. Especially when I eat people with such relish and gleeful abandon.
And, if you add one of the wonderful phrases that we all know so well onto the end, it becomes even better.
