Grandmas generally remind us of home, love, tenderness, and plenty of food. Although they might be the cutest humans on earth, we have our doubts when it comes to Arab tetas.

Were they part of an underground mafia? Maybe they've been trained by the FBI under tough conditions? Whatever their common history may be, they have gathered impressive investigative skills over the years. 

Behold a list of evidence that proves Arab grandmas are the harmless military soldiers you never thought existed.

1. Their questions come unnoticed

With a look of confidence on her wrinkly face and a red-colored smirk, she hits you with this... "Ma3 min 3am te7keh?" (Who are you talking to?).

Avoid smiling at your phone, even if the reason behind it is a hilarious meme that was sent to you. Maintain eye contact until the wave of follow-up questions are over.

2. They have an eye for detail

It's been a while since you've visited your grandma and can't wait to dig in her special kabseh recipe you love so much. 

But her eye for detail can detect the slightest physical changes that have occurred to your body... "Nes7an/eh?" (You've gained weight).

*Puts fork back in drawer*

3. They have their ways to make you spill secrets... through food and compliments

Whether or not you actually lost weight, your teta will overfeed you with all the meals and sweets you love... just so she can get you to talk about your secrets - aka love life.

4. They're always intrigued by the people surrounding you

Friendly advice: Don't ever let your teta run into your friends, because rest assured, she will engage in a full interrogation with them. By the end of it, she will know absolutely everything about them.

5. Modern clothes don't go down too well

Somehow, perhaps due to the rough environment she was raised in, your ripped clothes remind her of the wars and misery of old times. She'll either scold you for your outfit or get her sewing kit in seconds.

6. They can't handle laziness

One does not simply sleep until 10 am when visiting teta. She's been trained to make the most out of her day, so you better be at her doorstep at 6 am... or earlier...

7. They know what's best for you

She knows what is - or who is - best for her grandchildren. The moment she sniffs the smell of a single, 20+-year-old Arab who might be decent for her grandkids, she'll do a full background check and make her offer.
