The highs and lows of the beautiful people of the South Pacific.

Sundays consist of eating, reading, and sleeping

Grew up on oldies. So you bet your ass my children will know the oldies and sing them to me when I'm old,

You and your siblings scramble in the 8 minutes you have to clean it up before your dad comes home..

[Common Poly @TheCommonPoly]

Messing something up right when your parents are about to come home <

If you don't go to church, the house better be clean and food better be cooked by the time everyone gets home or you're ass is done,

My uncles tell me stories of my dad how he was a great fighter and a ladies man and I'm sitting here like, "MY dad...?"

[Common Poly @TheCommonPoly]

My mom knows when I'm lying so instead of calling me out she'll say "Son.. been there, done that." How do you know?! #momknowseverything 😣

[Common Poly @TheCommonPoly]

If your parents are yelling, always blame the person who isn't there. That'll give you some time to get your story straight. #polykidprobz

Age 14: Can I go to the movies?
Dad: No, you're too young.
Age 18: Can I go to the movies?
Dad: No, stay home.. clean the house.

If you find yourself choosing other people over your family, you need to step back and really think about that move before you make it.

Never be too caught up with the norms of today. Stay deeply rooted. Keep our culture strong and rich. Keep the faith in Our Lord. #Polynesia

[Common Poly @TheCommonPoly]

Always be grateful to your parents no matter how bad it gets. The Samoan way is to listen, not speak. Whether theyre right or wrong, listen.

[Common Poly @TheCommonPoly]

Shouldn't argue with fellow Polys. I'm being hypocritical but damn all we got is us, we gotta stick together. Am I right or am I right?

[Common Poly @TheCommonPoly]

If youre doing everything in your power to get a higher education, then you've won my brother/sister. #focus #staystrong #fightthegoodfight

If you still bump Brownzville, chances are, we'll get along great.

We need more big family reunions or happy gatherings such as weddings.. I've attended way too many funerals in my lifetime.
