Emshab, my parents had a mehmooni. When I was about to throw the red plastic cups away, my maamaan stopped me by saying, "Eh eh eh. Chera leevan ra ho meendazi door?!" I tried telling her they were meant to throw away, but she just washed them and put them to dry. MLIP

Today, my mom and I were talking about nosejobs. And then I JOKINGLY said, "Vakhti man bozorgtar shodam, damagham ro amal meekonam." My mom, thinking I was serious, says, "Are, hala vakhti bozorg beshi koochiktar koni baraye soorartet behtare." I was so upset. MLIP.

Whenever my classmates brag about their driving and about how "mad skilled" they are at it, I laugh. They wouldn't last 5 seconds driving in Tehran. MLIP

A couple days ago, my friends and I were volunteering at the library. We were in the kitchen when I screamed, "OH MY GOD! ITS A SAMAAVAR!" After that, my friends tried to act like they didn't know me. MLIP

Whenever a kid tries to show how awesome he is because he is double jointed or something, I show off by "beshgan-ing". Then everyone surrounding me forces me to teach them. MLIP

Last summer, I went to Iran and during one of our family mehmooni's, my aunt asked me how to say "taarof" in englisee. I told her there is no such word, because American's don't lie just to "khodeshoono aziz konan". MLIP

I haven't seen Prince of Persia yet, but I'm hoping that when I do, somewhere in the movie someone shouts, "THIS IS PERSIA!" MLIP

I was talking to a girl in one of my classes. I was telling her that I am Persian and speak Farsi. I asked her where she was from. "Oh- I'm from Isreal." Akward silence. MLIP.

Today, I was emailing my cousin in Iran. She knows pretty good English, so I sometimes write in English. I was about to end the email with, "This weekend is gonna be sick!", but I didn't think it would be a good idea to make her zang bezane to ask if I'm okay. MLIP

There is always that one person that decides to be special and not leave during a mehmooni when EVERYONE ELSE has left. They taarof and all about how it's late and they have already given us so much "zahmat", but they secretly wish to stay. MLIP
