The Demon’s Lexicon

FOR MUM AND DAD — I’ve always thought that raising a child must be one of the scariest things in the world. You never know when they’re going to live on ketchup, run away to America, or badmouth you on television. Well, in case I ever try that last one, you can display this to the world: I’m happy, I’m healthy, and I love you. I wrote a book!

You didn’t do so badly. (And the ketchup was delicious.)
