M: Tammy, do you want to go to the movies with us on Saturday?

W: Hey, Raj! I’d love to, but I have to help my mom clean the house.

M: Too bad for you!

W: What do you mean? You never have to help around the house?

M: That’s right! Only my sisters have to do chores.

W: How do you get away with that?

M: Well, my family’s a little more traditional, and my parents lived in India for most of their lives. In fact, we didn’t move from there to the US until I was about four. In many Indian families, girls do the housework, and boys, well…

W: Get treated like kings?

M: Exactly. In fact, that’s what my name means: “king”.

W: So, basically, your parents spoil you.

M: I guess they do, in many ways. But being a son means I’ll have more responsibility toward my parents when I get older.
