G: Ohh really

P: I mean most of the time.

Gauri shook her head.

P:Ask

G: ummm if I do something 25 times in 5 hours, does that mean I do it often?

Prerna thinks.

P:when Ragini aunty brings chocolate from foreign and I open the fridge to take it three times a day mumma say "this is why I say ragini no to bring chocolate you open the fridge often and eats it, seems like I should hide it" if three times in a day is often toh 25 times in 5 hours is very very often.

Prerna frowns.

G: Anyways.
