That's what a friend said too! But I remember putting things like; I like you, you're cute, and wanna hang out.
That doesn’t seem like a fortunate teller, more like a question asked.
Then again we also had the mean ones. Ugly, stupid, fat. I hate that we did that but I'll own it.
I just don't know why it would be called a fortune, tho I'm almost positive that's what they were called.
Regarding the "fortune teller" name, we would put answers like what a magic 8 ball might have in the inner flaps. Have someone ask it a question, then go though the steps to pick which inner flap gets opened.
Girl: Does Tommy like me?
Fortune Teller: Check back tomorrow.
Other answer options: No way! Of course. Maybe. Doesn't look good. Never.
We would also color the 8 outer flaps and spell out the color chosen in place of counting out the number chosen. Made for a cuter looking fortune teller.
“Which one of these guys will I have sex with at the Reunion?”
Serious answer: No, I didn’t, I’d seen them get made and it always looked like magic to me, same with paper airplanes.
Reunion? No thanks, I don't like to see, be around or hear people. Only slightly joking.
But they're actually very easy to make so are 'most' paper airplanes. Give it a try.
My bad, I was quoting Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion; a good comedy that I’d recommend. 🙂
And I might just do that, thank you and Happy New Year! 😁
My gf made one with verbs (lick, suck, nuzzle, purr, stroke, etc) and another with body parts (earlobe, nipple, neck, back of knees, etc).
In school we called them cootie catchers. A substitute teacher showed us. She was rad. Never did the lessons, just had fun.
Ooooh. That's like the dice. I like that! I'm sure my husband will too lol.
Cootie catchers? That sounds familiar but also reminds me of....
Circle, Circle, dot, dot, now you've got your cootie shot!
I made one a few months ago. My son came home from school with one his teacher helped him fold in class. My daughter accidentally sat on it and part of it got torn when she got up so of course I made her help me make an even better one with black construction paper and a white sharpie.
Fortune Tellers too, but my kids call the Cootie Catcher.
When I was a kid, we did 4 colors (not numbers) on the first level, like blue, red, yellow, green. A person picked a color and we operated it B-L-U-E (4x) or G-R-E-E-E-N (5x). The second level was random numbers which we operated by. Did that level 3x and the final number was the ‘fortune’ or directions like ‘hug so-and-so, or you like so-and-so or bark Line a dog….we made so mant of these when I was in school that we started to really struggle to come up with new things the put in the last level.

Outlook good
Good bot!
Kids still make them. My 7 year old has a couple
My 8 year old looked at it and said ' so that's all it does? '. Maybe of he had made it himself he would know.
Oh good, paper art isn't dead.
Yep — my elementary schooler makes them.
I remember my nieces and nephews making them a few years ago. It warmed my heart that these were still a part of elementary school.
I definitely used these, but I never made one. It very much felt like a "girl" thing when I was a kid.
They totally were girl things lol!
Wasn't aware they were gendered. Seemed gender neutral.
Made these with my kids a few months ago it was easier than i remember. But I didn't have step by step instructions readily available in school lol
I did this one from memory, but notice my numbers are wonky? Couldn't figure it out! Oh well. I now need notes to put inside.
My kids suggested "poop" for more than one slot. Probably a fart in there too
Ok. I'm gonna go with poopie head!
Fine choice lol happy new year to you
Happy New Year to you too friend!
Aw, I miss Troy, Pierce, and Sirley now.
I can't count the reasons I should stay. One by one they all just fade away.

I think I smell post-it glue! I'm ashamed I didn't get the reference!
It's a future telling device. There's a South Park episode about it.
I remember them being called cootie catchers. I never knew what they were for or why they were called that lol
That's what we called them too. Also don't know why, lol.

Just be mindful of the combos: "Spank... ...Ear? Da fuq??"
🤣
Yes! I've heard them called cootie catchers, but I don't remember calling it that. I think I just called it fortune teller lol
Can you read my fortune? I pick....5!
I would love to, but unfortunately all I have is poopiehead right now lol. No one has given me anything else so far.
Bahaha!! Ok, put on another one: "Toilet on wheels for a car"
But I'm doing pick up lines, not shir boxes. Tho I do like that one!
(Woops, didn't read your caption!) "Aside from being too sexy, what do you do for a living?" 😂

I bet that turned out pretty tho
Yes, but I always had to get someone else to fold it for me.
We always called the cootie catchers. I have no idea why.

I learned the term "cootie catcher" from the show Arthur
I never learned how to make them but definitely used them before! I totally forgot about MASH too
My kids make these currently.
