It's summertime and we all know what that means... family reunions! Having family members abroad is more commonplace in the Arab world, considering that's where the money is, unfortunately. But, that's what makes summers all the more interesting. That's the only time in the year when everybody is in the same country at the same time in the same home. To be exact, your teta and jiddo's home.
Here are 7 things your teta and jiddo's home becomes during the summer:
1. A free of charge restaurant
And no, it's not just for one simple meal per week, it's free breakfast, lunch and dinner every single day for three months straight.
2. An overbooked hotel
Your aunts and uncles flying in from abroad never say no to staying with their parents, but when those uncles and aunts have kids who have kids who have kids... It just turns the house into an overcrowded, chaotic hotel!
3. A courthouse
You know it's the only place in the world where all your family issues can be solved. Fight with your brother? Head over to your grandparents house for a court hearing!
4. The best venue for social gatherings
Want to throw a party, a family-friend lunch, whatever it is, this is definitely your place.
5. And family meetups... which happen every single day
You know that one uncle you haven't seen or talked to in like ages? Well, now's your chance for that long lost reunion.
6. Your happy place
If you're feeling down, this is the only place in the world where laughing is not an option, it's mandatory.
7. Basically your temporary home
So, just pack your suitcase from now because you know you'll be moving there soon!
