21. At the age of 13 you are only allowed to go out of town with your friends for Croatian soccer tournaments, folklore festivals, drinking binges, and dances.
22. Your parents were at the party where you got drunk. (True)
23. The majority of your friends are also your relatives, even if they aren't your relatives; because you refer to their parents as TETA (aunt) and STRIKO (uncle).
(Yeah, sounds familiar?)
24. KUHAÄŒE are not only used for stirring when cooking... they are also used by MAMA to beat you when there is no Å*IBA (twig) handy...
(Never had the "Å¡iba" or "kuhaÄ?a" experiance))
25. When leaving the house to go out, you always receive the same warnings (regardless of age): PAZI Å*TA RADIÅ* (watch wut u'r doin), PAMET U GLAVU (sanity in your head), NEMOJ ME SRAMOTIT (don't disgrace me), NEMOJ DA JA Å*TA ÄŒUJEM (don't let me hear rumors)...
26. Sadly, if something actually does happen, somehow MAMA will know before you make it home.
27. MAMA gets pissed off at you for bringing home McDonald's, saying: "Å*TA ĆE TI TAJ JUNK!? (what you gonna do with that junk)
28. Your parents insist that you'll end up being nobody if you don't graduate from FAKULTET (faculty/ university).
29. Lunch on Sundays has more courses than AMERIKANCI (Americans) have for Christmas or Thanksgiving dinner.
30. You know that in addition to fruit flavored Jello, gelatin can also be prepared with pigs' feet and that's called HLADETINA.
(EEEEEEEW I ALLWAYS HATED HLADETINA!)
