Victor comes after Pinki in the MRO:

    >>> super(Debu, Debu()).can_i_take_your_car()
    I need it today..
    >>> super(Pinki, Debu()).can_i_take_your_car()
    Asking mom...
    >>> super(Victor, Debu()).can_i_take_your_car()
    Asking your dad...
    >>> super(Mom, Debu()).can_i_take_your_car()
    No...
