Traducao (Portugues)

Não seja derrotista, querida. É muito classe média. Sempre achei que o segredo de um casamento feliz é nunca ir dormir com raiva. Sempre vá dormir planejando sua vingança. O mundo está mudando. E nós devemos mudar com ele. Eu estava certa sobre uma coisa. Nunca deixe nada atrapalhar um bom jantar. Toda vida é uma série de problemas que devemos tentar resolver. Primeiro um, depois o próximo.
