You Know You're an Arab When.....








You Know You're an Arab When.....





You call all your dad's friends: am-mo


You have an oriental rug in every room

You have an endless supply of pistachios, dates, pumpkin or watermellon seeds


You actually like yogurt drink

you either tip 2%, 5% but never the actual 15%

Your parents say you're becoming Americanized anytime you get into trouble

You hug and kiss relatives you have never seen before in your life

You curse at your teachers or strangers in Arabic

You flip out when someone mistakes you for a
Mexican or Indian

You can spot an Arab a mile away and they have
spotted you because they keep staring

You have Thanksgiving dinner with rice and "bamiyah" (okra

After a family meal, the women fight to the death over who should wash the dishes while the men sit on their behinds and discuss politics, waiting for their tea

You walk down a street with Arab stores and you are trying to eavesdrop on others arabic conversations

Your parents want you to become a doctor or engineer

You use your forehead and eyebrows to point something out


Your mother yells at the top of her lungs to call you to dinner even if you're in the next room

You have at least thirty cousins

You have told your kids not to walk the floor
barefoot or they'll catch a cold

You arrive one or two hours late to a party and think it's normal. ...all Arabs are late- all the time

You are standing next to the largest suitcases at the airport

You talk for an hour at the front door when leaving someone's house

You say bye 17 times on the phone


When your parents meet strangers and talk for few minutes, you discover they know one of your uncles back home

Your parents don't realize phone connections to foreign countries have improved in the last two decades, and still scream at the top of their lungs when making long distance calls

Your mother has a minor disagreement with her (or
your dad's) sister and doesn't talk to her for ten years

You hide everything from your parents

Your mother does everything for you if you are male

You do all the housework and ********ing if you are female

Your relatives alone could populate a small city

Everyone is a family friend

You went to a university as far away from home as possible

You still come back home to live with your parents
after you graduate

You teach Westerners swear words in Arabic

You always say "open the light" instead of "turn
the light on"

You're walking out of customs at the airport and you
see at least twenty-five members of your family who have come to pick you up

You go back to your parents' country and people treat you like a member of...the royal family

Your parents drink 6 cups of tea/arabic coffee a day


You've had a shoe thrown at you by your mother





Don't Believe ... I'm Kidding
