BEING SOMALI IS HARD
you know ur somali when.
1. Your parents say you're becoming Americanized anytime you get into trouble.
2.You curse at your teachers or strangers in somali.
3.You can spot a somali a mile away and they have spotted at you because they keep staring.
4.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.
5.Your parents want you to become a doctor or engineer.
6.You use your forehead and eyebrows to point something out.
7.Your mother yells at the top of her lungs to call you to dinner even if you're in the next room.
8.You have at least thirty cousins.
9.You arrive one or two hours late to a party and think it's normal.
10.You are standing next to the largest suitcases at the Airport.
11.You talk for an hour at the front door when leaving someone's house.
12.You say bye 17 times on the phone.
13.When your parents meet strangers and talk for a few minutes, you discover they know one of your uncles back home.
15.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.
16.Your mother does everything for you if you are male
17.You do all the housework and cooking if you are female.
18.Your relatives alone could populate a small city.
19.You still came back home to live with your parents after you graduate.
20.You teach Westerners swearwords in your somali
21.You always say "open the light" instead of "turn the light on".
22.Your parents drink 6 cups of tea a day.
23.You've had a shoe thrown at you by your mother or kaal
***You make sure you're not seen with a member of the opposite sex if you're within a 5 mile radius of any other somali ppl
