     - Kyllä mä tiedän, että Jade ja Jeri on kamalat nimet. Eikä Emma ole yksinhuoltajana aina jaksanut olla ihan niin looginen kuin olisi pitänyt.

     -- No just niillä sen ennustuksilla. Mutta mä en nyt halua puhua niistä sen enempää. Jadesta tulee varmaan samanlainen, sillä on jo nyt tapana katsoa toisen läpi, huomasitko silloin Kemissä?
     Sami ei ollut kiinnittanyt huomiota kumpaankaan lapseen erityisesti, muutoin kuin vain huonon käytöksen osalta.
     - Jadehan on hyvä nimi ennustajalle.

     - Well yeah just with her predictions. But I don't wanna talk about it anymore. Jade will probably be similar, she already looks through other people already, did you notice when she did that in Kemi?
     Sami hadn't paid attention to either of the children in particular, other than making note of their bad behavior.
