Amelia decides to give her the benefit of the doubt and interpret that as a joke, which means she gets a laugh. Hey, points for trying!

"Thank god for that," she says with a grin. It's more true than the girl thinks, though for different reasons than she might expect. Then Amelia scans down the list of questions, praying her interview partner doesn't say anything while she's not looking. "This looks like a nice easy question: Do you have children?"

It's probably an empathy question, she thinks, looking back up expectantly. Someone with kids is probably a caretaker, responsible, qualities good for people who are meant to be saving the world.
