The story · 1993

The story of Cootie Catcher Prophecy

Every kid in the third grade knew the fold. Colors on the outside, numbers inside, and under the last flap, your destiny. You might live in a mansion, a shack or a houseboat. The best fortune tellers were made by one quiet kid who wrote predictions so weirdly specific they felt real.

Fun fact

Kids who got a bad fortune always demanded a redo, and the fortune teller's owner always charged one pretzel stick.
