The phone-in, and the first caller is Grandma: a call, who's on the line; is Jack there, child; Grandma, you're on the air; have you eaten yet, in Isan speech; not yet, Grandma, talking boats; boats can wait, eat first; there's sticky rice and grilled chicken at the house; I'll come at noon, Grandma, promise: have you eaten yet as hello, and its answers.
