when this video started, she turned and looked at my phone, so I said "ma ah!" and she turned her head away from me! Every time I say it, she won't turn to look at me and the last time I said it, she kind of snorted and then got up and left!



But Martini came!

And thinks you are saying it to make fun of her or something? Maybe she's thinking " what do you want, I'm right here."

Of course she was thinking "What do you want, I'm right here." Especially with the snort! Duh on me.

You see what she has to deal with over here?
