You've driven on at least one road with more potholes than actual smooth road.

You can't talk without your hands.

This is what you call soda:

Most of the cuss words/phrases you know begin with "yuh mudda..."

You know you're a Trini when you curse at the man driving next to you because he gave you a bad drive.

You know you're a Trini when you drive on the wrong side of an entire road because WASA dug up the road.

You or someone you know has had dengue fever and/or chikV.

When you're not surprised to see cloudy white or brown water come through the faucet.

When cooking is considered to be enough of a "thing" to invite people over to lime.

When you've eaten/seen/made a roti bigger than a car tire.

Yesssssssssss except I didn't have to thief it, my mom used to give me haha.

 

[Shadowhunter]

Whattttt that's one awesome mom! I would wake frequently in the night to drink water and eat. Most of the time I would drink straight from a can of condensed milk (eww I know lol). Later on I met some relatives who taught me about filling a tall cup with a mix of powder milk, milo, and sugar. We held contests to see who could wake the longest and keep sneaking back cups full of the goods until we fell asleep lol I have no idea how none of us ended up with diabetes!
