You KNOW you're IRANIAN when :
    
        ---------------------------------
   
     
Your refer to your dad's friends as Uncle...
  
You have an endless supply of pistachios, dates,and pumpkinseeds...
   
 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. ...
  
       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.
  
       Your mother does everything for you if you are
       male
  
       You do all the housework and cooking if you are
       female...
  
       You still came back home to live with your
      parents after you graduate...

 

(What else can you add to this list?)

by Ali P. on

 Your parents find you "the perfect mate"(or so they claim),

insist on you "taa tanoor daagheh, khameer ro bechasboon"

marry you off,

then later meddle in your marriage and do not get along with your mate,

insist on you divorcing them,...

till you get a divorce, 

and after all is done,

deny their role in any of this:" vaalaah maa keh aslan dekhaalatee nadaashteem too iin jaryaan..."!

Oh THAT IS MEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Even if you were born and raised in the US and you FArsi sucks, you still say Masej instead of message. It's in your blood.

You cannot talk without moving your hands. And it's perfectly normal to slap yourself when you say "vaaaaaaaaaaaay khoda"

You were high heels to Persian events, even if the event happens to be in the snow, park, race tracks, mud, rain...etc. Every event is a chance to find Mr. Shuvar.
