Depends on who you marry.
Will in New Haven
Here is a crude version of the story I was looking for (I ended this
sentence, if it is a sentence, with a preposition just for you, Will).
Once upon a time, an old man, Sai, lived near the Chinese Northern Fort. One
day his horse ran away. His neighbors commiserated with him over his
misfortune, but Sai said "How do you know this is not really good luck?". A
few days later the horse returned, bringing another horse with it. However
when his neighbors congratulated him on his good luck, the old man said "How
do you know this is really good luck?" Sure enough, some while later Sai's
son fell while riding the horse, and broke his leg. However this turned out
to be good fortune when all the young men of the village were ordered to
join the Emperor's army. Sai's son didn't have to go since he had a broken
leg.
