“Listen,” she’d said. “When you’re watching my kids, I need to know that you’re giving them your full attention"

Rusi put her hands on her hips. “I messed things up? This painting business was your idea!”

Ilana said, “You’re telling me you’d actually bring a girl like Dafna to meet your precious Bais Yaakov friends?”

Riding the bus to the Kleins’ neighborhood, ZeeZee wondered why she’d been crazy enough to accept this job. She’d always hated babysitting

"I’m not sure if ZeeZee would be interested. I mean, her family’s seriously rich; it’s not as if she needs to earn her pocket money”

ZeeZee reached out to touch the stone in front of her. “But I am normal, right? I’m normal me!”

“ZeeZee, we already discussed this. The hospital isn’t a place for a seminary girl. Rabbi Freund will never allow it”
