Fortune Cookie Reveals Startling Prediction for 4 Year Old Boy

My four year old son and I had a busy day and decided to get some Chinese food instead of cooking dinner at home. We drove to the restaurant and enjoyed a nice meal, but of course the best part for him was the fortune cookie.

My fortune was pretty unexciting, something about appreciating what I have. My son excitedly cracked his open and wanted to know his fortune.

A NEW DAY WILL BRING RENEWED FRIENDSHIPS, I read.

He looked at me and cocked his head. He munched while he thought. “So tomorrow I am going to have a nude friendship? “ he asked me with a puzzled look on his face.

I laughed so hard I almost choked on my fortune cookie! I reassured him that it meant being friends with someone you haven’t been friends with for a while.

Though he was convinced that said friendship was most certainly going to be in the nude. I had all but forgotten this until the next day at the playground when I heard him asking another little boy if he wanted to be his nude friend.

I rushed over to correct this conversation before it could get any worse. The child’s parent also heard, so I found myself explaining the entire story to her. She did not seem amused, which gave me the giggles. I think we’ll be staying away from that park for a while.
