Saurabh
Maid shows up in the afternoon.

Me: Why didn't you come in the morning today?

She: Where were you yesterday?

Me: We weren't at home... Wait, that's not how things works.

She: I still woke up early morning and came to your place. If you had informed me, I would have woken up late for a change.

Me: Yes. I should have called and informed you.

She comes to my place at 5:45am every morning, and takes pride in her work.

This exchange happened while I was writing an essay on privilege. And just a day after I was discussing with other parents at the kids' school how we mistreat our help every day.

We only talk. We never practice.
