I laughed at the possibility.

I was wrong.

So now, I expect every bad and terrifying thing is going to happen.

At least that way, I can be happily surprised if it doesn't.

Look at it this way. Expect every toilet seat to be freezing cold when you sit down on it. If instead, it is pleasantly at room temperature, you can have a little celebration.

Hi there, Nevilledog. Hope you are well.
