Transcript
Can I please speak to Angela? Um, she works in the kitchen. Let me send you over to the kitchen line. One moment. Thank you. Hello? Angela? Hello? Yes, Mom, it's Tandi. Oh my gosh, you're scaring me to death. What's going on? I just wanted to know, can I have a popsicle? What? Are you kidding me right now? I love you. I love you too. I love you. I know you're in the middle of lunch. I just thought it'd be funny to call you at work and always ask for you in my big girl voice and ask for your minuscule things that we are like I'm going to kill you. I know that. I love you so much. I just wanted to give you a laugh. I love you so much. Alright, love you. Love you. Bye.
