When oldest child was in Kindergarten, his wonderful teacher threw a Halloween Party. Every child was sent home with a requested good for the party.
Halloween Day, the parents were invited to the school. The kids dressed in costumes and marched around the fields for their Halloween Parade. The parents then went inside and we helped set up a party while the teacher read stories to the kids.
One parent had brought in fortune cookies, and she quickly opened the box and set out one cookie beside each child's plate.
The kids were enchanted with the party, and having a great time. Parents were talking in corners, getting to know each other while others ran around snapping pictures.
One of the kids opened his fortune cookie and took the paper over to the teacher for her to read out loud. We watched her open the cookie, and then we watched, shocked, as all of the color drained out of her face.
"Quick, grab the cookies" she hissed at her aide, who had scurried over to see what was going on.
As the aide ran around grabbing cookies from the kids, the mother who had brought the cookies ran to get the box out of the trash, and the fortune that had been embedded in the cookie began to make it's rounds through the parents who gasped, turned red, and tried not to guffaw at the absurdity of the situation.
Turns out that the cookies the mother had grabbed were sexually explicit fortunes with details. Wow, the details.
I tell you, you just can't make this stuff up!
