The chapter's title was "The Slop Bucket," but when I brought the Spanish phrase back into English to see what it had come up with, the translator had rendered the phrase, "The Cube of Soft Mud." My Spanish is poor-to-non-existent. My son is fairly fluent, but when I need something translated for print, I get a real translator - a human (not electronic!) who knows both languages well enough to do the job correctly.
