And your dress will be so ruined.

If you're kissing that means your eyes are closed, and if your eyes are closed it probably means you're about to get whacked.

5. A lake houses is the PERFECT place to get killed.

A fun vacay with friends = a mass homicide anyone clearly could have seen coming.

6. Babysitting is essentially a death sentence.

Naturally, a phone is always involved.

7. Empty schools are never actually empty.

Because there are murderers waiting for you. Why would you willingly go to an empty school?!

8. Pillow fights are really cute until the creep outside joins in.

Then everyone dies.

9. Wearing a letterman jacket is like wearing an X on your back.
