We spent Mother's Day this year in Buffalo. After we dropped Daddy at the airport at 6:30 a.m., we got some breakfast and managed to waste more than an hour there. Target opened at 8:00, so we spent some time wandering around there before the mall opened. As I'm sure my mom has already pointed out, things are much cheaper just over the border, so we all had a mission - SHOP - get as much as we can for good deals because we won't be back for awhile.
Part way through the day we sat down to a delicious Chinese lunch. The waiter brought us four fortune cookies with our bill (odd because it was just the three of us - Daddy had to go to California on family business). Mama and Katie each opened theirs and ooed and awed over them because the fortunes were relatively true - even if they had, you know, already come true.
Mama's:
"You will move to a wonderful new home within the year."
Katie's:
"The time is right to make new friends."
I had high hopes for mine. I broke open the fortune cookie and just started laughing.
"Your ambitious nature will help you make a name for yourself."
Umm...do the people who write these things not know me at all? Luckily there was another cookie on the table. "Take two!" Katie declared. I broke open the second cookie and had to count years back to my birthday.
"Keep true to the dreams of your youth."
Heather and I may have been complaining about how old we feel but we were sort of kidding.
Thankfully I don't put any stock in typed out fortunes found in a morsel of my lunch.
