Fact: Almost everything that has ever happened happened at some point in the past.
@Felthry When, as a changeling ponybug, I feign attempts to emulate the behaviours of "real" ponies, I'll say things like:
"Of course I'm a real pony! I've got a tail like a real pony, these four hoofy things, two eyes, a... headcone... and pretty much no antennae!"
for some reason I really like this form of humor, where you say something that's true for everything but with the implication that there might be some exceptions
