So, Is Your “Life Persian?” MLiP.

It was a morning like any other. I sat at my desk, turned on my computer and not too long after everything had started running properly- I was checking out my Facebook newsfeed. I was overwhelmed, confused, perplexed and humored by all of the hilarious scenarios posted that ended with “MLiP”. After a little bit of investigation, it became clear to me…some brilliant Iranian out there had come up with a spin on some of there other sites out there and came up with MLiP, which appropriately stands for “My Life is Persian”.

MyLifeIsPersian.Net allows Iranians from around the globe to submit anecdotes that other Iranians can relate to or would find absolutely hillarious.

Some of my personal favorites are:

Today when ordering a soda, I asked for an eh-Sprite. I grew up in America. It was not a Persian restaurant. MLIP.

My own sister (in her late 20’s) was seeing a guy for 3 years before I even knew about him because my mom made her keep it a secret “Chon mardom harf dar meyaran!” MLIP.

Today, I was having an intense conversation with my teacher about the economy. I tried making a point and I subconsciously used the word “khob” in the beginning of my sentences, and “digeh” in between. MLIP.

My parents have all my friends phone numbers on their refrigerator… I’m 22. MLIP.

Today i came home from school and my mom said “clean your room” and I asked her “why are we having guests over?” and she said no, the cleaning lady is coming and you should make sure your room is clean before she comes. MLIP.

It only gets better from there. The best part? Submit your own and there’s a good chance they’ll post it. It’s awfully entertaining and addicting to read people someone’s anecdote & realize you’re not the only one who’s shared this experience before.
