A light bulb moment that I had

pAdukA - ammA, little bear pArkanum. ( I want to watch "little bear"cartoon )
ammA - No pAdukA. India la irukkom.  Amazon videos pArka mudiyAdhu. (We are in India and we cannot watch amazon videos here)
pAdukA - yen (why?)
ammA - namba ID vecchi computer India lerndhu pArkka vidAdhu ( the computer will not let us watch from India ) America la dhaan velai pannum  ( It works from America only )
pAdukA - yen (why?)
ammA - (how do I explain this?)  namba Athu address madhiri internet kkum address irukku. namba India lerndhu try panna, vera address varum ilaiyA? so America la ilai nnu theriyum. adanAlai velai pannAdhu ( Like our home address, computer attached to internet also has an address. When we access from India a different address comes up. So, it wont'work since the address will be different from that of America.)
pAdukA (after thinking for a while) - namba pAtti-thAthA va visit panna vandhurukkom nnu sonnalumA? (Even if we say we are visiting grandparents, won´t it work)
ammA - appadi sonna laam velai pannAdhu ( Saying that won´t make it work )
pAdukA -  (suddenly with an enthusiasm of having found the answer to the problem) namba America Athu photo va namma pinnAdi vechindu try pannalAme. appo namba America irukkom nnu nenaichikum. illayA? ( We can keep the picture of the house we lived in America. Then the computer will think we are still in America. Won´t it? )
ammA - ( hiding her laughter )  appadilaam velai pannAdhu pattu (It does not work like that dear)

I think I have to have the techie talk with my appA sooner than I thought.
