Model: I need you to be honest with me.
Me: Always!
Model: What do you think of this outfit?Me: I kind of love it.
Model: Really?
Me: Totally.
Model: I’m afraid it looks like I’m wearing one of those origami fortune tellers.
Me: I mean, yeah, it does, but who says that’s a bad thing?
Model: I guess those were pretty fun.
Me: When I was in 4th grade, I rigged an origami fortune teller to use on this guy I hated. I wrote some variation of “You will die tomorrow” on all of the inner flaps, so no matter what combination of letters and numbers he chose, I would always get to lift up the last flap and say, “Hmmm … that’s never happened before. This one says you’re going to die tomorrow too.”
Model: Did he think it was funny?
Me: No, he cried and told the teacher I had put a curse on him.
Model: So that kid probably wouldn’t like this outfit.
Me: Most likely not.
Model: That is, if he’s still alive.
Me: Good point. His opinion is probably irrelevant.
