So when I saw this linked on a friend's wall on facebook (ahh, good ol' Facebook) I had to click, just because of the title. I mean, c'mon, if you're Middle Eastern, you have more than enough experience dealing with parents. There's none of that "Come here darling" sort of treatment, our parents are firm but hilarious in their own ways, and this vid shows the non M.Es just that.
A simple Google search will bring up the list, but before I sign off this is a much needed addition to the list, by a friend:
63. Your father calls you calmly to come downstairs. You're scared. Did he see the text message one of your friends left? Damn it, did you leave your facebook open? You go downstairs. You make a quick duaa. You say ''Yes, baba?''
He wants the controller 3 feet away from him.
Gotta love our Mammas and Babas!
Xx

Sister, I thought you were Somali...?
I am a Somali, but I also consider myself an Arab. Alhamdulillah, I've spent most of my life in the Middle East and have heaps of Arab family. Also, Somali's are originally from the Arab peninsula so either way I am an Arab, and also an African.
Somalis are not from the Arab peninsula. Your confusing, Amharic with Somalis.
Somalis have their root, with Ancient Egypt, not Arabia :)
