Fortunately...

I wasn't sure what to make for dinner tonight. Katelyn made an unusual request. "Let's eat at Panda Express tonight." It's right across the street from us, so naturally we never eat there.

I was surprised, "Why do you want to eat at P.E.?" Kate: "Because I want to get a fortune cookie so I'll know what's in my future."

I wanted to teach her that fortune cookies didn't really determine your future, so we wrote some fortunes of our own just for fun. Here are a few of the ones that Kate came up with...

(Off topic, we took this pic while she was waiting to meet David Archuleta, whom she may or may not have had a huge crush on since she was 2!!)


You will go far, far away.


You will lose all your teeth at once.


You will go in outer space on Monday...wait, Mom is today Monday? (Me: Yes.)...I mean Friday.


There's a monster under your bed.


You were born in a town without any water. Kenya.


You will lose a tooth and you will swallow the tooth.


You were born in 1999.

Sorry, this list cracks me up. I have no idea where she came up with these. Except for the losing teeth fortunes. That seems to be a pretty hot topic in 1st grade.

Here's one from me to Katelyn:

You will marry David Archuleta when he is 40.

Peace.
