You Know You're Serbian When...

In geography, you may have briefly covered the little state of Serbia. What most people don’t realize is that it’s actually a lot nicer than expected (minus the fact that there’s no plumbing for the toilets), and it's full of strange, amazing people. Here’s how you know if you’re one of them:

-You’re name ends with a “ć” or a “CH.”

-You’re related to every 3 in 5 Serbians.

-If you as much as cough, you’re grandparents look at you (almost happily) and say, “Uh huh, I knew you would be sick. It’s because you don’t eat enough.”

-When you take your friends to a church mass, they’re surprised by the open bar.

-You’re family doesn’t understand the concept of “not hungry.”

-If someone said their name was Alexandra or Alex, you translate it into Aleksandra or Aleks.

-You were told if you drink coffee at a young age, you’ll grow a tail. (I still can’t drink it…)

-No one has ever pronounced your name, and every kid at school has a nickname.

-You have to shout to be heard by your family.

-You’ve heard every story about your family. TWICE.

-You’ve considered naming your child Dragan or Dragana.

-You taught your friends Serbian curse words when you were little (…guilty…)

-Your mom makes you put on a sweater in the house because SHE's cold.

-Even if you’ve never been somewhere, you can do a flawless accent.

-Your dad calls ever cereal “Corn Flakes.”

-You’ve been nodding your head and calling your family over to read this list, cause it describes them perfectly.

Anyone else's parents do the Corn Flakes thing?
