Read the details if you don't mind your blood pressure rising.

#3  Her employers were not satisfied, she said. "Nothing was ever clean enough for her. She would come in and say, 'This is dirty,' or 'You didn't do this right,' or 'You ruined the food,'" said Shyima.

I recommend kicking the rations up a notch by adding a bit of Preston Antifreeze to each recipe.

#1  The slave may have had a better life than she would have in Egypt, but if you want to live in the US you'd better live by the rules. Yeesh, didn't even send her to school. Amazing that in such a short time she seems to have come a long way with her education.

If you read to the end of the story, you'll see that circumstances suggest that they have yet another slave . . . . I'd say it's time the couple starts breaking big rocks into little rocks or perhaps serving ten years as fully supervised caregivers. And they certainly don't seem to be competent enough to have custody of their own children.
