Paper Fortune Teller-Remember the game we use to play?

We would fold a square piece of paper origami style until our fingers could slip in the corners. Then we would write numbers on some of the triangles and potential fortunes on the other. To tell someone their fortune, you would open and close the paper, based on the number of the letters in the person's name. Your fortune was based on the triangle you landed on.

Well, some kid lost his fortune teller out on the sidewalk and I found it on my walk out with the dog. I picked up the paper contraption, wondering if kids wrote the same things down today, that we did decades ago.

Before you read on, post a fortune that you remember that was common back in your time. And then weigh in to see if you see any differences, or similarities.
