you know you are an Arab when 
- A visa is not a credit card. ...
- You refer to your dad's friends as Amoo. ..
- You have an endless supply of pistachios, dates, and pumpkin seeds.
- Your parents say you're becoming Americanized anytime you get into trouble.
- You curse at your teachers or strangers in Arabic. ....
- You can spot an Arab a mile away and they have spotted at you because they
keep staring. ..
- 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. .
- 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 arrive one or two hours late to a party and think it's normal....
- 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 a 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 relatives alone could populate a small city.....
- You still came back home to live with your parents after you graduate...
- You always say "open the light" instead of "turn the light on"....
- Your parents drink 6 cups of tea a day...
- You've had a shoe thrown at you by your mother. ...
- You're proud to be an Arab
