Too busy to talk to your daughter. Okay. I haven't seen you in a year. Cause I've been living in Australia and my mom lives in Spain and I'm gonna go see her today. I got myself a cheap little gales. It's 4:00am, so this is needed. I do have a bus to get when I get there. And she's like, I can't pick you up till this time. She's always really busy. Go see my mom. Just got to Alicante airport. My mum has been like, oh, I can't come get you. Like, sorry guys, gonna have to get the bus, blah blah blah. And uh, I was like, okay. Like, I haven't seen you in a year and a half. I've been living in Australia for a year. Not like year and a half, but like a year and a bit extra. What do you mean you're not gonna come get me? And I'm like, oh, maybe she'll surprise me. Like, hopefully she'll surprise me. I get her and she doesn't surprise me. So I'd come get her from the airport anytime. Anyways, we're not gonna cry about it. It's fine. Okay, I'm going to go cry about it. Okay I think I was salty 😂 Oh, too busy to talk to your daughter? Okay. You haven't seen her in a year?
