Fortune Cookie revelation

Long time, no blog, eh?  I keep meaning to get back on the wagon.  I even have wonderful posts all composed in my head.  Alas, I sit down at the computer and do something else instead. 

Tonight, though, I am sitting down and am writing what I intended to.

So, about a month ago, my mother brought down a bag of fortune cookies.  I have no idea why she had an entire bag of fortune cookies, but she did and so we were gifted with them. What does that have to do with tonight's spaghetti and meatball dinner then? 

Luis opened the cupboard after and saw these fortune cookies.   He immediately pulled them out and lamented the fact the we forgot them last night.  Last night, we had fried rice, pot stickers and spring rolls for dinner.  So, Luis handed out the fortune cookies, and the three older children ripped into them. 

Simon, on the other hand, had a little difficulty.  He struggled and strained to crack the cookie apart.  He tried setting it on the table and hitting it.  No luck.  He simply could not get his cookie to crack apart.  Finally, Luis held it on edge so that when Simon hit it, the cookie cracked.  Simon very seriously handed Luis his fortune to be read. 

What did it say?
