assalamoalikum :jhanda:

  1. Don’t ask all your kid’s friends over the age of 21 if they have a boy/girlfriend yet.

  2. Don’t ask your child, “What are you going to do with your life?” if he/she majors in a non-science field.

  3. Don’t try to set your kid up on a date in anticipation of their poor taste or inept social skills.

  4. Incorporate other phrases besides, “Did you study yet?” into your daily conversations with your children.

  5. Don’t give your son a bowl haircut or your daughter two acres of bangs.

  6. Don’t reveal all the intimate details of your kid’s life to the entire Asian community.

  7. Don’t blatantly hint about the merits of Habadu (Harvard), Yeil (Yale), or Purinsuton (Princeton).

  8. Be a little more lenient on the 7:00 P.M. curfew.

  9. Don’t ai-yah loudly at your kid’s dress habits.

  10. Don’t ask where the other point went when your child comes home with a 99 percent grade on his/her report card.
