Perspective
Dude gets webcam, manages to get aged parents online. Flashes winsome smile, gets told he's becoming fat (i.e., aged ps' way of communicating affection). Makes faces at webcam, frustrates aged father who has no webcam and hence must make retaliatory faces in the dark. Runs out of faces, decides to extend conversation by picking up webcam and directing it into backyard, at shed. Conversation ensues.Aged Maternal Parent: Ota ki? Payekhana?[1, 2]
Dude: Na, shed.
Aged M P: Shed-e ki korish? Payekhana?[3]
Dude: Na, cycle rakhi.[4]
A M P: OK.
