Fortune Cookie Rule #4: Don't read too deeply into it

This is literally the first fortune I received this (lunar) new year. "How hierarchical anachronistic, especially for this modern age for a woman!" I thought and promptly wanted to open another cookie per my Rule #3, but alas all my elder relatives have taken their cookies already and it would improper if not downright rude to steal from them. So here goes:

Fortune Cookie Rule #1: always always always add "in bed" to the end

I'm obsessed with fortune cookies, not necessarily going out of my way to eat bad take out Chinese food to get them but I've been saving/hoarding every little scrap of fortune since I can remember! 

While fortune cookies are served ubiquitously at Chinese American take out joints across the US, the cookies are actual not served in China or even invented there! That doesn't diminish my glee as I crack open the brittle shell to reveal a "fortune," and then proceed to add "in bed" to the end of every fortune.

So let it be proclaim that every Wednesday is Fortune Cookie Wednesday, where the more amusing fortunes are shared :)

To kick it off:

...in bed! ;)
