Morality.

A young kid sings ' We Are the World' -tries to at least- on the bus which I'm on with that pesky little kid I have to tutor four times a week (every afternoon except Thursday, from 5:30 to 6:30) (in practise, 'til 7:00, plus the 40 minute trip back).
Boy: Mira, mamá, casi me lo aprendo entero.
(Through the corner of my eye I see he has a sheet with what I imagine are lyrics.)

Send them your heart /So they'll know that someone cares /And their lives will be stronger and free /As God has shown us by turning stone to bread /So we all must lend a helping hand. In choppy English.

Mother: Pués si que lo escriben distinto a como lo pronuncian.

When you're down and out /There seems no hope at all /But if you just believe /There's no way we can fall /Well, well, well, well, let us realize /That a change will only come /When we stand together as one

Somewhere somebody laughs.
