Fortune Cookie

Even though only two of us had ordered, the restaurant gave us four fortune cookies.  When everyone had finished eating, we gave the boys a cookie each.  While Ethan busied himself with breaking open the cookie and ripping out the fortune, he regaled us with a story about the first time he ever ate a fortune cookie...something about finding it to be disgusting because of the wad of gooey paper stuck in his mouth.
"Turn your thoughts within.  Find yourself," he read aloud, having finally liberated the tiny slip of paper.  "What does that mean?"
"If you sit quietly and think..." Ashley began, seriously (if not wishfully).
"That will never happen in this house," Ethan interrupted.
Too true.
