"I don't know if I've had those?"

"I'll order some for the next batch of groceries."

Eefa gives Mikko a questioning look.

"Hm?"

"I don't know what you meant about groceries." she says, as if the word 'groceries' is unfamiliar to her.

"When we want more or different food here, we order it - we give a shopper a list and then they deliver it to the door."

"Oh you're telling them to get it for you?"

"Yup. Usually we bring the groceries in with us when me and Chioss come here in the morning."

"What happens to them if they can't get the groceries for you?"

"There are lots of people who work for the grocery delivery company. If one of them is busy or sick they stay home that day and a different one does their work."

"What happens to the one who couldn't work?"

"They rest at home, or the hospital if they need more help to get better, and come back to work when they're ready. They get paid, because everybody wants it to be easy and normal to stay home from work if you're sick."

"Why?"

"If they came to work when sick, like if they were worried about money and thought they needed to make money more than they needed to rest and recover, they might make other people sick too. So their job pays them to take time off when they're sick and there's nothing to worry about."

"So they get paid to not make anyone sick?"

"That's right."

"Are they paid on other days?"

"Of course."

"Why?"

"...for doing their jobs."

Eefa has a bunch of questions she will in fact ask about how money works and how jobs work and whether Mikko has a job and where the food comes from before the person goes out and gets it for them.

Mikko is happy this is such an engaging topic for her! He can explain money and jobs. His job and Chioss's job is to take care of kiddos who don't have a family; right now that's just Eefa but as she saw sometimes it's more kids. They have picture books about farming and the food supply chain, would she like to read them together?

Eefa wants to know what happens if people don't get money first, and then they can read the book.

"Oh, people who don't get money sometimes live with their families, and sometimes they go on social services - that's sort of like living here with me and Chioss, except for grownups."

"They get trapped in a place until someone takes them to be their parents?"
