12 Things Your Lebanese Teta Absolutely Loves

Lebanese tetas, who doesn’t love them? Even when they force-feed us, we usually feel full of love and joy after sitting with them for a while. But other than their grandkids, there are 12 things they absolutely love and will not let anyone get in the way of, so beware.

1. Turkish soap operas

The plot has been looping for close to 500 episodes, I can’t hear that theme song again, please help.

2. Having something to complain about

You haven’t washed the dishes, you washed the dishes badly.

3. Fake hating the pet

“Get her away from me!” While secretly making her homemade snacks.

4. Floral pattern plates

Slapped with this one.

5. Homemade remedies

Zhourat and 7Up is all you really need at the end of the day.

6. Low-key hating on the other side of the family

When a sentence has a holik in it, get ready for the most shady shit you’ve ever heard.

7. Jeans that are not ripped

8. Zaatar

So much so that her house will often smell like it.

9. WhatsApp voice notes

With 30-second interludes of the Turkish soap opera she’s watching.

10. A good bargain

Especially at the vegetable and fruit shop.

11. Embarrassing her children

Bayak men 30 sene nza3ab men el madrase jarasna…

12. Having the last word
