Anyway, the fortune read: "Focus in on the color yellow tomorrow for good luck!" Focus on the color "yellow." Huh? So, today is tomorrow and I have to admit, no good luck yet. For example, last night, due to the copious amounts of salt that was undoubtedly placed in our food for flavor, I drank a lot of water. What does that mean? Well, my urine was not so yellow. Heck, it was basically water. So, great little China man, no good luck there. Then I encountered some yellow snot coming out of my baby's nose...followed by a million dollars? Nope, just more snot. 0 for 2.
Were my dying yellow lemon trees outside, that need probably all the water I drank last night, sprouting cures to cancer, free babysitters, secrets to how to remove my back love handles? Nope. Do I own any yellow clothes? No! Is the sun even out today? No it's cloudy! Damn you color yellow and all the good luck you promise!
Dear wise and prophetic future tellers, who work in the fortune cookie factories in San Francisco, you have got to be more specific! We, I mean, humankind, depend on these small strips of paper for guidance and direction. You've got to give us more...and you've got to think a little harder than offering the same fortune. My husband has a job. A real job. Do you know how much legal yellow paper he's surrounded by? He's an absolute mess today.
