Stuff like that.: David Nicholls, One Day, 2010

There's something unnatural about a woman finding babies or, more specifically, conversation about babies, boring. They'll think she's bitter, jealous, lonely.

It sounds like they're consoling her, and she resents this and feels patronized by it.: David Nicholls, One Day, 2010
