How To Change Your Fortune

Step 8Now That You Have Changed Your Fortune...

Mess with your friends! That's what this was intended for.

Here are some tips for writing good fake fortunes:

Always use your friends name in the fortune! This is the funniest part. No one thinks the fortune will know their name.

Stay subtle. You don't need to get too flashy with the fortune. Just tell them not to fall asleep, or give a regular fortune just using their name.

And remember, feedback is always appreciated. Tell me how you did! Give suggestions! Thanks you in advance!

I think this is a great idea. I'm going to use it on my kids at some point (6 & 8 1/2) reminding them of the importance of sharing or being kind. I think it will freak them out a bit especially the 8 1/2 year old that is currently reading Harry Potter books.
