So many fires...

This has been a week spent putting out fires. Some of them were literal fires... I accidentally put my electric tea kettle down on a hot stove burner last night and caught it on fire. Aside from that it seemed like one appliance in our house after the other decided to break. It started with our stove top which we managed to quickly and easily replace. The next day our refrigerator gave up the ghost and this required moving two other appliances around in our house to keep a running fridge in the kitchen. The day after that my waffle iron decided to burst into flames for an unknown reason. I am wondering if this is some sort of 20 year jinx? We recently celebrated 20 years of marriage and it appears our appliances are tired and worn out after all that time.
