We went to a Chinese restaurant and ate in near silence. He was so fried.
Typical of a Chinese meal, we received two fortune cookies at the end of the meal,
Yay! Fortune cookies! I say, and I grab one and unwrap it.
I look at Captain Handsome and read him my fortune.
"That's my cookie, " he says. " that fortune was meant for me."
"You can't steal fortunes" I say, "I call no stealing fortunes!"
Being that he was tired and crankyish I just glared at my fortune stealing pilot. He was methodically opening "his" fortune cookie. I hear it crack between his fingers and he looks down to read the tiny paper within the cookie.
"Never mind", he grins. "You're right, that's you're fortune."
"Let me see that cookie, captain handsome."
Seriously? There are no takesies backsies,
"Too bad it's a community property state. Now I have to share my pleasant surprise and you ave to give me some of your inheritance,"
He sulked.
