6 years ago, I adopted a kitten whose name was Squirt. I had to change his name because my mom had a hard time saying "Squirt." It was either "eskevert" or "squwooert." What did his name end up being? Peeshy. My life is Persian.

I'm at a Sefeed restaurant with my Persian friends and our waiter's name is Bobby. So my friend, Bobby, looks at his name tag and says, "Hey, my name's Bobby too!" And the waiter says, "Oh is it short for Robert?" His reply,"No, Bobak." MLIP

Persian mamans cannot say the word "squirrel." 99 out of 100 will funk it up guaranteed. Ask your maman and see vat happens.

Since Persian women expect to dress like they're going to the Oscars when they're going to a wedding, I never know what to tell my American friends when they ask for advice on what to wear to a wedding. Nothing they're considering looks formal enough to me anymore. MLIP

We have a guest restroom and a "fancy" room that we are not allowed to use or walk through. This has always been the case in every house we have ever lived in. In our current house, it is faster to walk through the "fancy" room to get to the kitchen. Every time I do it, my parents yell at me "baba chandbar bayat behet begem, as unja nayah! Khaseef mesha!" MLIP!

My dad has this interesting habit of rounding up my age down/up at his convenience. For example, if he sees me leaving the house at a late hour he will say "Khodah margam. Chi chabareh een vachteh shab miri biroon, dokhtareh BEEST saleh." YET, when I do something "immature" like cry in a movie, or not have time to make my bed, or tell him I don't know how to cook something, "Akheh, yani chee? Dokhtareh SEEH saleh?!" I'm 26. MLIP.
