Kanae Minatoの小説 "Penance" を読んでいます。
At first my mother acted sulky, serving up the sukiyaki without a word, but when Wakaba told her "Thank you!" with a cute smile when Mother broke a raw egg into her bowl for her, Mother finally smiled herself and made sure the little girl got plenty of meat to eat. When he saw this, my father said, apropos of nothing, "I can break an egg with one hand, you know," breaking an egg into a bowl. What Father saw how happy this made Wakaba, he told me to go out to the mini-mart and buy some ice cream for her.

Apropos is a useful word to learn. But first you have to know how to pronounce it: AP-rə-pō.
