You Know You Are Bosnian When...

¾       You take your shoes off when you enter the house, and every family member has his/her own slippers (plus some extra for the guests)

¾       You tuck in your potkošulja [undershirt] into your underwear

¾       Your father wears a striped pajama

¾       Your mother tells you to wear potkošulja [undershirt], no matter what the temperature outside

¾       Your parents have gobleni on their walls, and heklanje [crochet] on every piece of their furniture, including the TV 
[Note: Goblen is the Bosnian spelling of Gobelin works in Paris, France, noted for their woven tapestries].
