Family life: getting ready to leave

Geetha: Ananda, open the door, please, I’m in a hurry!

Ananda: Sorry, Geetha, first in, first served!
Geetha: Please, you know I can’t be late for work. It isn’t fair, you always rush into
the bathroom as soon as you hear me get up, you know perfectly well I don’t have much
time while you can lie in if you want.
Ananda: What do you mean, 'I can lie in' ? I have a class at nine, and you always
take ages to get ready.
Geetha: Stop it Ananda! I know you always skip classes in the morning, I’ll tell mum you
don’t go to morning classes if you don’t open this door at once!
Ananda: Oh yeah? Last weekend, you complained to her about my untidiness, and you told
her I never helped with the housework, it was very mean of you to do so!
Geetha: Oh stop moaning and let me come in, or I won't even have enough time
to wash!
Ananda: All right, all right, come in, it isn’t locked.
