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.
