-لا يا بابا نحنا لبنانية.
-بابا عنجد نحنا شو؟
يا ابني انا سني وامّك شيعية, وانت معمّد عند الكاتوليك, واختك مارونية متل جوزها, ورح نجوّز خيّك لدرزية
-بابا انت عملت هيك كرمال الوحدة الوطنية؟
-لا يا بابا.. عملت هيك كرمال شو ما صار بالبلد يضل يقدر حدا فينا يجيب ربطة خبز…
TRANSLATION
Son: Tell me dad, are we Sunnis or Shiites?
Dad: No son, we are Lebanese
Son: Seriously dad, what are we?
Dad: Actually, I am Sunni, your mother is Shiite, You are baptized as a Melkite, Your sister is Maronite like her husband, And your brother is going to marry a Druze girl.
Son: Dad, did you do that for the sake of national unity?
Dad: No son, I have done so, so that no matter what happens in the country, one of us would still be able to go down the street to the bakery to buy a bag of bread.
