As soon as Hertha finished speaking, she could feel her parents' gaze sharpen, their expressions a mix of shock and disappointment, as if they were thinking, "Why can't she be more responsible?"

I was just worried about him finding out I brought the kids—no company wants their employees turning the workplace into a daycare. Could you watch them for a bit?
