Take a Break Guys!

Desi: Thank God, I am back home! Even for a week! God, being a freshman at college is not a joke! Washing, cleaning, getting sick AND studying! Gosh, now I know a little how it feels for working moms all the time! Working and then working some more!

Laadli (Desi’s younger sister): Yeah, yeah okay Anna (older brother). I am glad you are back too! So you know I got into FPS finals, I am going to a couple of summer classes to move up next year and you know...And any ideas on how to get into a ivy league? Do you think I should start taking SAT classes?

Desi: Chelli! It is summer time! Don’t you kids know how to have FUN anymore? Where is my mom? I want my mommy!!!
