Being Ukrainian is fun...

You know you're Ukrainian if....


-You had to share a room until you were 21.

-You are standing next to the two largest suitcases at the airport.

-You know someone with twenty kids

-You talk for an hour at the front door when leaving someone's house.

-Girls can't have boyfriends when they are 17 but they have to be married at 18.

-Your parents tell you not to care what your friends think but they won't let you do certain things because of what other 'brati' and 'sestri' will think.

-You know someone that married his girlfriend of 2 months.

-Your house is full of Ukrainian medicine that is probably illegal here.

-You sing at every party you go to.

-You don't know how to use a dishwasher.

-You use grocery bags to hold garbage.

-Going to the movies is a sin.

-Your parents call you farm animals when you get them mad. (baran)

-Asking if you can get a discount at a discount store on clearance items is normal and not embarrassing for your parents.

-You can only travel if there are five persons at least to see you off or receive you whether you are traveling by bus, train or plane.

-You have bed sheets on your sofas so as to keep them away from getting dirty.

-It's "normal" if your wedding has 600 people.

-You've seen the ground while inside the bathroom of a train.
