    You know you're a Persian when..
    1. A visa is not a credit card.
    2. You refer to your dad's friends as Amu
    3. You have an endless supply of pistachios, dates, and pumpkin seeds..
    4. Your parents say you're becoming Americanized anytime you get into trouble.
    5. You curse at your teachers or strangers in Farsi.
    6. You can spot another Persian a mile away and they have spotted you because they keep staring.
    7. After a family meal, the women fight to death over who should wash the dishes while the men sit on their behinds and discuss politics, waiting for their coffee/tea.
    8. Your parents want you to become a doctor or engineer.
    9.You use your forehead and eyebrow(s) to point something out.
    10. Your mother yells at the top of her lungs to call you to dinner even if you're in the next room.
    11. You have at least thirty cousins.
    12. You arrive one or two hours late to a party and think it's normal.
    13. You are standing next to the largest suitcases at the Airport
    14. You talk for an hour at the front door when leaving someone's house.
    15. You say bye 17 times on the phone.
    16. When your parents meet strangers and talk for a few minutes, you discover they know one of your uncles back home.
    17. Your parents don't realize phone connections to foreign countries have improved in the last two decades, and still scream at the top of their lungs when making long distance calls.
    18. Your mother does everything for you if you are male.
    19.You do all the housework and cooking if you are female.
    20.Your relatives alone could populate a small city.
    21. You still came back home to live with your parents after you graduate.
    22. You teach Westerners swearwords in Farsi
    23. You always say "open the light" instead of "turn the light on".
    24. Your parents drink 6 cups of tea a day.
    25. You get yelled at for talking when the NEWS is on.
