Wait until it is night before saying that it has been a fine day. -French Proverb
Everyone knows Murphy's law where if stuff can go bad it will and usually in really creative ways. We used to have 'Sunnydale's law' where if you were stupid enough to say something went right, or how could it be worse then Fate took it and ran with it.
Seriously, you said anything like that and it was instant jinx time. It was probably just part of the charm of living on our own Hellmouth.
Growing up there you just don't realize how strange things are until you move somewhere else. It takes a while to get used to the idea outside of Sunnydale you can make casual comments like that and not get the instant Fate slap upside the head.
I wonder if anyone else still cringes when they hear 'at least it's not...fill in the blank' besides me?
