I know for a fact that there are certain things that happen in my life that are honestly just too Arab. Although these things make our culture so unique, there are times it still shocks you just the same. Honestly though, I wouldn't have it any other way.

From making nutella sandwiches with pita bread to packing fatayer for lunch, here are 16 times you knew your life was too Arab:

1.When your mom is always in a rush to know things

2. And pita bread is used to make all kinds of sandwiches

3. When your definition of punctuality differs from the rest of the world

4. Your cravings can get a bit weird ... even for you

5. Your childhood consisted of things other than toys and legos

6. No matter how small the car, the entire family has to commute in one car

7. An inventory of mint tea is quite normal

8. Your last name is so hard that you kinda wished you didn't have one

9. Your mom throws a feast almost every other day

10. Phone calls with relatives overseas are the worst thing ever

11. Your lunchbox consisted of fatayer and lahme b'aajeen

12. You can't keep track of all the Mohameds and Ahmeds in your life

13. Using the word "bas" atleast 10 times a day is a must

14. You constantly have to correct your mom when she hears Arabic words in English pop music

15. When conversations with your parents always start with "nehna b eyemna ..."

16. When it's more than okay for your own mom to call you a donkey
