11 Memories We Have Of Our Lebanese Dads

Lebanese dads have given us a a lot of memories over the years. But despite their unique quirks, most Lebanese dads have quite a few traits in common. Here’s a list of 11 common memories we all share of them.

1. The bicycle learning trick

Us: This is not some fucking coming-to-age Hollywood movie, you better not fucking let that bike go.

Dad: Lets the bike go

2. Car learning anxiety

Taking control away from Lebanese dads will lead to quite memorable experiences.

3. “Do not go to the deep end of the pool

Us: Go to the deep end of the pool.
Also us: start drowning

4. The morning drive to school


Your dad was either chilling out to some Fairuz or cursing at any person within range, no middle ground.

5. Road trip tomfoolery

Directions? Won’t ask for them. Stops? Won’t make them. Rage? Full of it. A fun and joyful family memory<3.

6. The story he says like it’s new every time


That’s also complete bullshit and doesn’t add-up at all, but we’ll allow it.

7. Forgetting important life details

Ade 3omrak?

8. Supervising the weekend mashewe

Lebanese dads run that shit like it’s the navy.

9. Long ass phone calls

Who is he talking to this long? Where is my attention?! Give it to me!

10. Anti-pet agenda turned pro-pet for life

Go secretly feed the cat some treats, old man.

11. Buying you tons of that one thing you said you liked that one time

Twix, mangoes, keychains, or Beirut.com lists, if you say you like them, your dad will make sure you have plenty.
