Video: Hilarious moment when son fails to explain dad what's Twitter

Did you ever face the challenge of explaining your parents what Twitter, Instagram or Flickr is all about?

If you did you will connect with this video and the frustration the son goes through.

Talking technology with parents can easily qualify as the world's toughest job for kids.

"What is the whole purpose of Twitter?" "Why can't I write as much as I want on Twitter?" "How do I post pictures on Facebook?"   

Well these can go on and these can be the most dreaded questions for children.

Packed with frustrating and rib-tickling questions, these information seeking sessions are just not cool to deal with.

Realise that while on the surface there seems to be just one question, answering a query will lead to a whole army of them. The video below is a case in point.

Conversation 1 that actually leads to many more - Dad wakes up son to ask, "What is Tuter...erm, Twitter?"

The son in the video tries his best to simplify the answer for him, goes to the extent of comparing Twitter with e-mails, and underlines limit of 140 characters. But this father is hard to please, there's just no satisfactory answer.

The unfortunate young man's father goes on to ask him why he hasn't bargained for more Twitter characters from Google since he works in the company.

Daddy's tongue-tying logic is - "you are a staffer and hence, should get privileges."

And no, that's not all. He wants to know how one can click a picture of a dish and share it on Twitter without it going cold (ever thought about that?!).

The son just makes it worst for himself by mentioning YouTube. Dad to son, "What is this YouTube".
