We were sitting around the dinner table tonight reading a box full of fortune cookies. The boys are both learning to read, and were very motivated to read every cookie. The cookies were pretty generic. I found some better cookie fortunes online. I also found this sweet video of Mr Rogers discovering how fortune cookies are made! The video is something for the little kids!


Don't lose face! Insist on buying dinner for your table mates.

Your future is embarrassing. I can't even talk about it without curling right back up.


It is time for you to apologize for your current hair cut and get a new one.


Ideas are like children; there are none so wonderful as your own.


The first step to better times is to imagine them.


He who laughs at himself never runs out of things to laugh at.








This little girl has a novel way of breaking open her fortune cookies.
