Speaker 2: used to have this on the last day of school.
Speaker 3: We didn't have to wear a uniform.
Speaker 1: Oh that's cool.
Speaker 3: So that's when you knew.
Speaker 2: It was like you ring you're ringing the bell here,
Speaker 2: you're ringing the bell for holiday time. And then maybe
Speaker 2: you know by the time you get home, your cousins
Speaker 2: will be at your house, or you've packed to go
Speaker 2: over to your grandparents or your cousins, and this happened
Speaker 2: you seven four years in your life. I'm looking for
