What was supposed to be a scheduled Skype video chat between my family here and our relatives in Hungary became more of an impromptu stand-up routine with only half the participants. My mother, sister and I exchanged prop-comedy with my cousin, Gábor, and his wife, Kati.
A half-hour exchange became, as usual, twenty-five minutes of show-and-tell silliness ending with five minutes of “So, how are things?”
My cousin showing off a book of portraits of his family was a nice touch to end the show with.
