Which husband

This is what happened when an orthodox tamil bhramin lady met a european lady at an airport terminal. The tamil lady is a first time flier who is to meet her son abroad.

The TN_lady is not very well versed in English but is still interested to converse. She meets a European lady and picks up the following conversation:

EU_lady:hi
TN_lady: (smiles)

further exchanges a few pleasantries with what ever English the TN_lady could manage.

EU_lady: how many children?
TN_lady: Three, going to meet son.

EU_lady: ok.(after a pause)
EU_lady: Which husband?

TN_lady: Points out to her husband sipping coffee on a chair near by.

EU_lady: No, no which husband? First,second, third...?
TN_lady: No, in India only one husband!(totally stunned and taken aback.)

EU_lady: What! How can you live your entire life with just one person!(totally stunned).

End of conversation :)


Who wants to try answer the EU_lady's question for real :)
