Set Straight

Yesterday morning, I got up put the garbage out, changed, dress and fed Blaise. I let Lidia, our housekeeper, in at around 8 am and introduced her to our new baby and then continued to tidy up the house while Amber was continued to rest in bed.

As I rushed around the kitchen, eager to get things in order before I left for the day, I casually mentioned to Lidia that now I had to work harder with the baby here.

She replied, “No, you don’t work hard. I work hard. When I’m done working, I go home and do laundry, I sweep, I go to the mill, I make tortillas, I feed my kids.”
