Indi Bhindi
Running late for brunch!
Indi Bhindi
It’s Akhila’s fault. She always poops whenever I have to be somewhere on time.
Gabe Babe
First of all, how dare you??
Gabe Babe
Second of all, I know you did not blame my angel baby.
Gabe Babe
Lastly, I, too, am late. My husband was horny.
Me
No worries, I’m at our table already
Me

Gabe Babe
Never thought I’d live to see the day
Me

Indi Bhindi
I’ll be there in 2 mins
