[QUOTE="deffa, post: 1435, member: 57"] You know that you are definitely a Sri Lankan if: 1. Everything you eat is savored in garlic, onion and chilies. 2. You try and re-use gift wrappers, gift boxes, and of course aluminum foil. 3. You try to eject food particles from between your teeth by pressing your tongue against them and making a peculiar noise like, tshick, tshick! 4. You are standing next to the two largest size suitcases at the Airport. 5. You arrive one or two hours late to a party, and think it's normal. 6. You peel the stamps off letters that the Postal Service missed to frank. 7. Your toilet has a plastic bowl next to the commode. 8. You name your children in rhythms (example, Honey & Money, Sita & Gita, Ram & Shyam.) 9. All your children have pet names, which sound no where close to their real names. 10. You take Sri Lankan snacks anywhere it says "No Food Allowed" 11. You talk for an hour at the front door when leaving someone's house. 12. You load up the family car with as many people as possible. 13. You use plastic to cover anything new in your house whether it's them remote control, VCR, carpet or new couch. 14. Your parents tell you to not care about what your friends think, but they won't let you do certain things because of what the other "Uncles And Aunties" will think. 15. Owning a rice cooker is a top priority. 16. You live with your parents even if you are 40 years old. (And they like it that way). 17. If she is NOT your daughter, you always take interest in knowing whose daughter has run with whose son and feel its your duty to spread the word. 18. You only make long distance calls after 11 p.m. 19. If you don't live at home, when your parents call, they ask if you've eaten, even if it's midnight. 20. When your parents meet Sri Lankan for the first time and talk for a few minutes, you soon discover they are your relatives. 21. Your parents don't realize phone connections to foreign countries have improved in the last two decades, and still scream at the top of their lungs while talking. 22. You have bed sheets on your sofas so as to keep them away from getting dirty but the sheet on your bed has not seen water for months! 23. It's embarrassing if your wedding has less than 600 people. 24. You list your daughter as "fair and slim" in the matrimonial no matter what she looks like. 25. You're always interested to know/interfere others personal matters, what they are doing, where they are going, etc. 26. You have really enjoyed reading this because you know some, or most of them apply to you! LOL :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: [/QUOTE]
