- This is a serious story, but it always gets a laugh when it is retold,
- no matter how many times we have heard it.
-
- When I was about nine, my sister (who is 6 years older than I am) made
- fortune cookies for some special occasion, like a birthday or something.
- When she brought them in for dessert, she passed them around, letting
- everyone take one, but specified that I get a certain one. I, of course,
- had no idea whatsoever that she had made these cookies, and so I didn't
- think anything of it. So, we all opened them, and read our fortunes. I
- read mine, which said "You are a gorilla." I nearly freaked out, because
- I thought these were like the ones that you get at a chinese restaurant.
- Everyone else's was normal. It's really funny to look back at now, and
- whenever there's a family dinner in the dining room, and everyone's home,
- we tell and retell some of the most embarrasing stories. It's still one
- of my favorites. 8)
