18 Amazing Memories From Our Lebanese Childhood
Did any of these define your childhood?
1. Wrestling at the cafeteria for a single Man’ouche
W ba3den taamel enhiyar kif kholis el Bonjus haram.
2. Waiting for MiniStudio and DeDe every day after school
And having a mini dance party at home.
3. Arguing with your parents about where to have your birthday party.
You wanted Putt Putt, but they wanted “3ind khaltak”.
4. Always having ra7a w biscuit as a dessert at Teta’s house
But you NEVER complained.
5. When an adult gave you 1,000 Lira and you hit the local dekkeneh in style
It would get you gum that looks like cigarettes, one Bonjus, and a bag of chips!
6. When you’d get a toy after going to the doctor
Getting a shot never felt so good.
7. Showing off THESE bad boys at school
That made everyone super jealous.
8. Making bank on Eid
9. School trips to Anjar or anywhere with snow
And not being able to sleep the night before because of how excited you were.
10. The huge annual book fair at Forum
When you’d go and buy amazing books and stationary.
11. Independence Day at school
When they would cancel classes and you would partake in a strange parade and eat man’ouche!
12. Family outings followed by ice cream
Bouzet Bachir after a long day? Yes, please.
13. Hitting up fancy grocery stores with your parents
Buying cereal from Monoprix/TSC was a treat.
14. When you’d call your mom from the pay phone after school
To tell her your friend HAS to come over because “3inna project”.
15. Whenever your parents had friends over for dinner
And you can spend the next day munching on leftover pastries, cake, and wara2 3inab.
16. Le3bit el gelle bi se7it el madrase
And it somehow felt illegal when you want to exchange them with your friends.
17. When Abou Kees was literally your worst nightmare.
And now real life is a nightmare.
18. When the bayye3 fool or termos would park near your school
And you’d feel so adult eating them kidney beans.
