Another pearl

Ah, reading. It makes you laugh sometimes:

"...and the wife starts bleating about unconditional love. What's that supposed to mean, eh?"
"It's American for putting up with crap from your children".

Walters, Minette (2007). The Chameleon's Shadow. UK: Macmillan (p. 144).

The book is fairly pedestrian (see, I am being good & having some rest), but that was a bit of humour.
