The scene:
Tony, Laura and I in my living room, chatting to catch up on the day. Eight children, ages 1-11 in the house. J. in discipline, waiting for me to go talk with him.
Emily: "I have to go talk to J. He's in his room."
Laura (English sarcasm): "Oh, he's not just there for fun"
Emily (gives a quick summary of what happened): "Yeah, the two things that bother me most are a mocking attitude and disrespect."
Tony: "So, why are you working with street kids?"
(laughter)
Emily: "I think God wants to change that in me."
Tony: "And then you can have a NORMAL job!"
