An Arab lady said..

My mom’s friend is here from Lebanon. She knows my relatives and just came last week. So she is here, and I went to say Marhaba (hello). She looked at me said said,

“Yikhzy el 3een.. shaklek wallah la falastenyeh wala libnayeh” (Oh my lord, you don’t even look Palestenian or Lebanese).

I smiled and said, “tayeb.. :) lakan shu shakly?” (Ok, so what do I look like?)

She said, “Wallahi, shaklek zay hadool men america el lateneyeh.” (I swear you look like those Latin Americans)

My mom agreed.

Then the lady said, “la2.. shaklek men heek balad.. zay el mosalsalat el ajaneb ely benshoofen 3al tv.” (No, you look like you are from those countries, like those foreign ones on shows we watch on tv. )

I said, “shakley mexikeyeh maheek?” (I look Mexican right?)

She said, “Eeh wallah.. sa7! Shaklek akinnik men hadool el mosalsalat.” (Yes, you look exactly like those girls from the shows.)

She then said, “kunty atwal akher marrah shoftek feeha.” (You were taller last time I saw you)

I said, “kunet labseh ka3eb.” (I was wearing heels)

She laughed and said, “esmallah, ma inty el taweely be 3eelitko men el banat.” (God bless you, you are the only tall girl in your family.)

So I don’t look like an Arab and Mexico is not a Latin country? I think I need to re-educate my self in geography.. :eek: WHATEVER!

    Well somebody thought I looked Italian once and another time somebody thought I was Polish and another time someone thought I was Russian and another time somebody thought I was French and another time someone thought I was German looking. I am just waiting to be mistaken for another nationality. :razz:

    The Latin race has Arab roots…at least those of us who have ancestors from southern Spain because of the Moors. We also have similiar language such as arroz for rice, azucar for sugar, camisa for shirt and panatlones for pants…just a few. :smile:
