), elderly mom juts had a blank stare. f/a asked twice more and got 2 more blank stares until the son turned over the seat back and spoke to her in hindi. bingo! mom said yes in a split-second and bingo again as the f/a moved mom as she obviously could not understand english. the son started to b, m & g so she moved them both-such a good f/a as she got them seats together (in the last row)
