Of ice cream, bedtime and family...

Talking about conversations with Kaber i though I'd write one...
It's been far too long since I've written anything funny...
So I wrote this...


------------------------------------------------------------------

“So what do we do now?”

“I don't know...”

“Come on!”

“What?”

“You have to have some idea of what we should do! You're the one that got us into this mess!”

“Hello! Dude! Who was the one that came up with this psycho idea?”

“You.”

“Are haan! Sorry. But anyway. Who told you to follow it?”

“You!”

“You didn't have to listen to me!”

“You did that thing where you sit and convince me! Look, this isn't the time to argue. What do we do now?”

“Make tea! Idiot! We're stuck! I can't get this thing open.”

“No way! I shall not accept defeat!”

“Defeat? What defeat? No defeat! Dude! Let's just get out of here!”

“I shall not leave this incomplete! I shall succeed! I shall TRIUMPH!”

“Raman?”

“Shit! Mom's up!”

“Oh shit! Why'd you have to shout? Daphod!”

“Don't bloody call me a-”

“Aakash? Is that you? Why are the two of you still up?”

“Shit! Make up an excuse!”

“We had to pee!”

“Together?”

“Dammit!”

“I had to pee and you had to drink water!”

“We used that one last time!”

“You had to pee and I had to drink water!”

“What th-”

“AAKASH! Get off the kitchen counter! What are you two up to?”

“Raman had to pee. I had to drink water!”

“You said the same thing two days ago when I caught you!”

“No way mom! That time I had to pee and Raman wanted water! Such false accusations seriously affect the self confidence of young boys!”

“And what do you mean 'caught' us Aai? We weren't doing anything wrong last time!”


"Dude, we were stealing ice cream.”

“Aakash! Stop whispering! I can hear you! And get off that counter before I hit you!”

“Yeah yeah...”

“BUSTED!”

“Aditya?”

“Mom!”

“Why are you still up?”

“I had to pee”

“Urgh! You're all grounded for a week! To your rooms! NOW!”

“Deena?”

“Asit? They're all up again!”

“I can see that... But why were you up?”

“I... I had to get some water”

“Water? Aai!”

“Shut up Raman!”

“Mom! You too?”

“Aditya! Asit Tell him!”

“What do I tell him? You were up too!”

“And why were you up Dad?”

“I had to go to the bathroom”

“DAD!”

“What?”

“Sheesh!”

“Aakash! Don't 'sheesh' me!”

“You know what! Let's just all have the cake together...”

“Yeah!”

“What are you guys doing up?”

“Anagha...”

“Let me guess, up to drink water? Use the toilet?”

“Naah... I wanted cake...”
