I don’t believe in fortune tellers. I think they’re bogus and faux, but I’ve had really funky things happen to me in the past that cannot be scientifically explained. I will talk about that on another day because tonight, my friend Wen told me that she is going to see a fortune teller tomorrow who has a reputation for being very accurate in her predictions. Now that she’s got my attention, I became very curious. I also found out that my mother is taking Wen for her appointment.
So I rushed to my mom and asked if I can get my fortune told as well. I changed my mind about it after this conversation:
Mom: Why? What are you going to ask?
Me: If going to graduate school is a good idea?
Mom: If she said that it’s a horrible idea and you’ll never find a job, what would you do?
Me: Go to graduate school…
Mom: Then why do you need your fortune told?
Me: *silence* *stare*
I think that was all I needed to hear.
