Mothers. We love them so much regardless of what they say to us. However, we have to admit that, sometimes, they can be pretty harsh. Palestinian Moms, though, are on a whole different level. Here are 10 most common quotes we hear Palestinian Mothers say all the time:
- “You never help!” They exclaim after five minutes of rejecting our assistance.
Really? Are you sure, Mom?
- “You should be more like *insert relative or friend.* He/she is a responsible adult.”
Don’t parents usually encourage the idea of ‘being yourself’? Oh wait, we’re Palestinian.
- “Why are you always on the phone?”
Because it’s #2017. We regret using our phones when they tell us to Google everything.
Thanks for the advice.
- “You keep spending money! Do I look like a bank?”
We’re not spending money. We’re helping the economy.
- “Why are you always in your room?” They ask before commenting on how we go out too much.
Which one is it?
- “Study.”
We especially love it when we hear this in the middle of studying.
- “A 90% on your exam? Why didn’t you get a 100%?”
What can we say? It’s “Naseeb”.
- “Wash the dishes.”
It’s very normal to hear this phrase right when we finish studying.
- “Because I said so,” they say to justify their points.
We can’t argue with that explanation.
- “When you get married,” they say to almost anything we want in life.
Whether it be traveling, moving out, or even getting a pet, we should put our bucket list aside until we get a ring.
Palestinian mothers will never change their hilarious remarks;, but no matter what they do, we still love them with all our hearts.
