More Fortunes

Fortunes are not safe. I've been having a ball collecting Chinese fortune cookies and incorporating the mice into the fortunes. Last time I went to dinner with my family I quickly rounded up everyone's fortunes for later use. I was eyeing the cookies on the table next to us too. I didn't have the nerve to ask the people sitting there if they planned on keeping the fortunes inside. I'm willing to bet there was a 50-50 chance they'd keep it if it were a good one.

Fortune Cookies

I'm craving Chinese fortune cookies now! Not because I want a cookie but because I want more fortunes to play around with. This idea has been great fun. I may have to search out a bag of fortune cookies somewhere just so I have a fresh and new supply of sayings for my mice to play around with. These two just won't stop scampering about in my head.

Sometimes you get a real crummy fortune inside the cookie, but other times one comes out that makes you stop and take pause. In my case I stop, drop everything I'm doing and draw; which ultimately puts me in control. In reality though I suspect we are not really in control here. The cookie proves it. (LOL)
