I come from a mixed race/multicultural family: my mom is Hispanic (Puerto Rican) and my dad is white (Most likely Polish). We have yet to do the 23 and Me DNA test to tell us more about my background, but this is for sure what I am so far. What's great about my family is that both of my parents speak a second language, but I mostly grew up hearing a lot of Spanish. It's interesting when people from two different cultures/races unify because, as their child, you get to learn so much about them, both sides of the family and your background. What's even greater is that you have so many hilarious moments or just moments that people who aren't in your family would find a bit out of the ordinary. Here are 20 things only you would understand if you're mixed race.

1. "Don't make me get the chancleta out."

2. Bubbe saying "Don't hurt your kepala" ("head" in hebrew)

3. My Puerto Rican mother making matzoh brei and latkes during the holidays

4. Your parents start to speak each other's languages

5. Seeing your parent get angry and cursing in a language that you don't know all of the vocabulary to

6. Having friends over for dinner and they question what's on the table

7. You've learned about different styles of dancing

8. You train your pets to know more than one language
