We should only converse with the wise ones
I believe that no matter what happens in life, who we rely on, and who we try to discuss our problems with, parents will always give us the best life answers. The words that come out of their mouth are supposed to be gold!
However, my parents are an exception. Their words are, well, just hilariously funny and quiet controversial. It actually makes me think twice and ask them, “what the heck did you just say?”
Father
My mom makes a lot of spinach sometimes, and it usually ends up being a lunch and dinner meal.
Dad was about to heat up the spinach dish in the microwave, and then said to me, “We are like cows. Eating green food.”
I said, “Mom put meat in it, like always.”
He said, “Doesn’t matter. It’s mostly green, and we crap it green! Just like you non-meat eater!”
My eyes were 
… and I said, “great dad! Great!”
Mother
We have two satellite dishes in our house, and I use numbers for one to fix it and get more channels.
The channels are not always there all the time, and I have to wait a few hours till someone posts the numbers again online. So, when that happens, my mom just sits there with a grouchy face, because she is not able to watch her show.
I said, “Mom, why you angry?”
She said, “Did you get the numbers yet? Aren’t you going to fix the satellite? It’s been 2 hours!”
I said, “Hmm, no. I am looking online, and nothing yet. Why are you so angry? Because of a stupid satellite? It’s not that what we are doing is legal anyways.”
She got mad and said, “Legal? We are Palestinians. They stole our lands and made each family live apart in this world. They owe us, the entire world OWES US!”
My eyes were and I said, “Ok mom. Whatever you say. The entire world owes us everything. Even satellite.”
Now you know what kind of family I have. The sarcastic-abnormal-meat-eater family. However, I gotta love them! Amen for their craziness! :up:

I looove FouseyTube!! All of his videos are... 
My parents suggested that I major in science and medicine. I wanted to do engineering and law.
I dropped out of med school w/ tons of student loans b/c I hated my life and wanted to kill myself. My family wasn’t there for me when I needed them. My father’s wife had cancer and my mom was with another new guy drinking herself to death.
So I was alone in a ghetto studying a subject I hated. I told them I wanted to move somewhere else and get a job: Spain or California or something. My parents told me: No.
I was engaged b/c I thought that was what I was supposed to do. I told my fiance I needed to break it of, but she said, “Don’t be silly.” Again, there’s the family religion, Catholicism. Also, I made a promise to marry her so I did.
I wound up divorced. I spent 10 more years living in shitty neighborhoods. Getting a job was a struggle b/c I hated working in labs. I hated science.
Finally, I remarried and moved to California. I work in office jobs (when I can convince them that I won’t leave for a wonderful, high-paying Chemistry job!) I love my office work. I love my new wife. I love my life in California.
I don’t ask my parents for advice anymore. Everything they told me to do turned to shit.
Now, I am happier than I have ever been.
If I had stood up for myself, I probably wouldn’t resent my parents, but I tried to be perfect and follow everything that they wanted to become a doctor w/ a wonderful wife of my religion. This is why I like your blog and why you have to keep standing up for yourself.
Hilarity.
@Professor Mikey
Hehhee.. I know
@Leeroy Glinchy
Man.. how old are you? And you remind me of my brother and his story. Which we will leave for another time. But seriously, wow. Good that you finally discovered what you love in life!
@IO
Indeed.
“Ok mom. Whatever you say. The entire world owes us everything. Even satellite.”
I love it!!!
LOL I think your parents are so funny..especially your mom…I really laughed hard at her comment about the satellite being illegal ..I wish I can borrow her from you
…God bless them .
looolz.
Parents are evidently wiser coz they are older but they aren’t perfect.They are human like ourselves.
It’s good to know when to hear to them and do whatever they want us to do and when to say :No..
yep!
Did your dad just complain about the spinach? I thought it was a well known fact that arabs have to eat meat in their meals…. even if it is a vegetarian meal
Btw… my mom is of the same view when something doesnt go her way
It’s a guilt mechanism which just aint gonna work 
you and your family are really funny mona. you all have good sense of humor. that is why i keep coming back here to read your post
