"Others appreciate your good sense of humor today."
Since our kitchen is still torn up and our fridge is still in our living room along with our stove, we trekked on down to the local Chinese food restaurant for dinner tonight. Obviously, one of the whole points of eating Chinese food is to get the fortune cookie at the end of the meal. That, and to look at the Chinese zodiac place mat and to see, once again, that the three of us are all Dragons.
My fortune was somewhat alarming to me. It, perhaps, even made me a little self-conscious . Does this mean that my good sense of humor is not appreciated on any other day, and just today? Or, does it mean that my good sense of humor is appreciated today while my bad sense of humor is appreciated the rest of the time? I did not know. What could my fortune be telling me?
Quite possibly these little pastries that taste like wet cardboard are really designed to merely mess with our heads. Why? you ask. Obviously it is a conspiracy. Whose conspiracy? I have no idea, that is part of the conspiracy. To what end? It must be to make us spend more than two minutes considering the meaning of our fortunes so that we will believe we are an important piece in some kind of cosmic puzzle.
I went seeking answers from the Chinese zodiac and found out that I am actually a Fire Dragon. I then discovered that among other things, Fire Dragons "put themselves on pedestals" and "react quickly and recklessly" and whose "emotions can flare instantly".
Okay, so obviously I'm an important piece in some kind of cosmic puzzle. And I am already over it. Dammit.

You know, Chinese fortunes are a very important part of life, and should be taken quite seriously...after all, last time I ate at Tsing Tso mine said something to the effective of "it's time to share your good news with others" and that's how I realized I just might be pregnant, and what do you know, the next day I found out it was true (not that the raging heartburn wasn't a good indicator, lol!)
ReplyDeleteYou might be right. A couple days before we found out I was pregnant with Ethan mine said, "A short stranger will soon be entering your life" lol!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, Cari.... I think that fortune goes around to a lot of people in our family... lol!
