This wife wanted a ‘dancing Arab’ for Christmas and it’s an epic misunderstanding for the ages
Well here’s a proper head-scratcher, posted over in the corner of Reddit called ‘no stupid questions’ and shared by the great @TechnicallyRon on Twitter.
It’s a man who was reliably (sort of) informed by his sister-in-law that what his wife really, really wanted for Christmas was a ‘Dancing Arab’.
He was naturally confused do did what any right thinking hubby would do in such a situation – he turned to Reddit for help.

And here it is again, just in case that’s tricky to read in full.
Oof! (And for an important bit of context – just in case you want to recreate the conversation in your head – the man is Australian and his wife is Scottish. Got it?)
While we get our heads around that, here are the funniest (and most relatable) things people said about it.
Imagine the look on his wife’s face as he attempts a “traditional Arab dance.”’

The best move is to gift the Dyson Airwrap while doing an Arabic dance.

Part of me (pretty much the majoritybof me) wanted to see them not having been corrected and wheel out an interpretation of a dance on Xmas morning

I mean, I’m happy it worked out for this guy, but also feel robbed of the bewildered post his wife would’ve made Christmas morning.

Reminds me of a post from a parent desperately trying to find "Papa Troll", a show their 3-year-old wanted to watch. It was Paw Patrol.
