Recently, my Mom and I were talking about origami and she mentioned the folded fortune tellers that I made (and she had made, when she was my age) when I was in elementary school. She wanted to know what those were called, and all I could think of was "fortune teller". But then, a moment later, I remembered hearing them called "cootie catchers" by a friend of mine from Iowa, and I wondered if this were a regional thing. So...
