You just want to do things your way? Ha. Silly young adolescent. Your parents will find every BS response in the book to ensure that doesn’t happen. Take a look.

1. \u201cIt’s 3ayb.\u201d<\/b><\/big><\/big>

At least 8 out of 10 times, when you ask your parents why you can\u2019t do something, it\u2019s because it’s 3ayb. What is this about? How is wearing a crop top 3ayb? What the hell does 3ayb even mean? And who decides if something is 3ayb or not? And why am I not qualified to make that assessment? WHAT IS THIS? Last I checked, THIS IS MY LIFE. Al 3ayb al\u2026 Oufff.

2. “Mish la ilna hal osas.”<\/b><\/big><\/big>

(Image via Tumblr<\/a>)

Number one, what\u2019s with the \u2018ilna\u2019? It\u2019s either \u2018illek\u2019 mom, or \u2018ile\u2019. There is no \u2018ilna\u2019 in this situation. Number two, \u2018osas\u2019 Mom? \u2018OSAS\u2019? How is, oh I don\u2019t know, that shirt, or, God forbid, traveling with some friends, an \u2018osa?\u2019 I think I need to get you a new dictionary BECAUSE NOTHING ABOUT THIS IS AN OSA.

3. “Il wade3 ma mnee7”<\/b><\/big><\/big>

Please explain to me why I can\u2019t go to HAMRA when there are problems in ARSAL, ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FOUR KILOMETERS AWAY. Please, do tell. This should be interesting.

4. “Lama kint ana be 3omrik\u2026”<\/b><\/big><\/big>

(Image via Straight From The A<\/a>)

I\u2019m not going to elaborate on this because we\u2019ve all heard the stories of how Mom and Dad used to walk through alien invasions carrying a pink elephant to get to school and now you\u2019re complaining cause you don\u2019t have an iPhone.

5. “Ana akbar minnek w bifham aktar minnek.”<\/b><\/big><\/big>

(Image via Photo Bucket<\/a>)

Here\u2019s the real question: if age correlates with wisdom and authority, then why do I get yelled at when I tell my brother and sister what to do? HUH? HUH?

6. “Are you talking back to me?”<\/b><\/big><\/big>

(Image via Giphy<\/a>)

No, I\u2019m simply asking a question, but you\u2019re free to interpret it as you like MAH!

7. “Why isn\u2019t [insert name of ONE of your best friends who isn\u2019t going because of extraordinary circumstances] going?” <\/b><\/big><\/big>

(Image via Blogspot<\/a>)

Seems to me like you\u2019re just looking for any excuse at this point\u2026

8. And last but not least, our favorite response ever in the whole world: \u201cHek, because I said so.\u201d<\/b><\/big><\/big>
