So anyway, Clishmaclaver was reading The Daily Dot and came across a new literary truism! 😉

How about Roald Dahl’s James and the Giant Peach? “Until he was four years old, James Henry Trotter had a happy life. And then the murders began.” 😀

“As a meme, though, it’ll probably be fairly shortlived. People picked it up and played with it on Twitter for a few days, trying to create funny juxtapositions with famous first lines, but the best possibilities were soon exhausted. And then the murders began…” – The Daily Dot.  😀
