Today, I had to have a serious talk with my 30-year-old husband about why Sesame Street isn't a "soap opera." FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I actually had to have a discussion with my boyfriend about why he should shower more than once a week. FML
Today, I had to have a serious talk with my boyfriend about his Miley Cyrus obsession. FML
Today, I actually had to explain to my husband why his habit of wiping his boogers off into our baby's hair has to stop. FML
Today, I was watching TV with my husband and my 5-year-old son. Everything was going fine until my son asked his father, “Why can’t mom know that you have another sweetheart?” FML
Today, my supervisor was watching a video of his son. I heard a voice in the background and asked if it was Elmo. It was his wife. FML
Today, my husband thought it would be acceptable to watch Breaking Bad on Netflix with my 4-year-old in the room. What happened to be the only line he picked up? "Well heil Hitler, bitch!" I found out from his preschool teacher. FML
Today, I walked in on my dad singing along to a song on Sesame Street. He tried to divert attention from what I'd just witnessed by angrily grilling me over "just barging in" and not respecting people's privacy. Apparently he forgot that we were in the living room. FML
Today, my wife has gotten into the habit of commenting on how much more attractive men in Latin soap operas are than me. When I suggested that an older character on the show looked like her mom, she started crying, and yelling about how hard the actress's life has been. FML
Today, I had to tell my 30 year-old boyfriend to take a shower, or else he won't for a week. FML
Today, my husband (M72) and I (F69) had yet another argument over all the time he spends away from home doing hobbies and volunteering. After an emotional conversation about my moving out, he said, "Well, if we are done talking about that, let me tell you what I got to do today." Biggest emotional slap ever. FML

Hey don't knock it till you try it. Elmo is actually in a relationship with Ernie behind Bert's back. It's some pretty intense stuff.

Elmo also had an affair with Abby Kadabby. Scandalous!

We're forgetting about Zoey. I don't trust her whole "ballerina" act...

This day and age that "serious talk" is not a civilized sit down but probably just you yelling at him then coming here telling us how it's a serious talk.

Sesame Street is pretty dramatic... You don't even know OP, it's some pretty intense stuff. Have you heard about the Cookie Monster/Fairy scandal?

Has your husband ever seen a real soap opera before? I'm curious as to what he thinks one is.
buddy51 23
What he thinks a real soap opera is is Sesame Street!

All three of your brain cells came together for that response didn't they?

It's always the same people that have to make a stupid sarcastic replies to a stupid comment. Just thumb the comment down and move on instead of being the 'superior' being you think you are by belittling people on the Internet. I do understand that sometimes it's fun to talk shit about someone's stupidity, but EVERY bad comment in the top ten has some stupid sarcastic reply. Sorry for the rant.
Ambient25 25
Does every sarcastic reply have a needless rant?
posie97 18
Yes! Yes it does...!

I dont know, those arguments between "friends" Bert and Ernie are pretty soapy and full of drama.

Oh dear lord, it's the end of the world..
hcollins1 18
Yes. The world is going to end because an individual thought a show for little kids is a soap opera. Makes sense.

Seems legit

Someone can't take a joke..
hcollins1 18
64, I like jokes.. Good jokes. Not all jokes HAVE to be liked. If I don't like a joke doesn't mean 'I can't take it', everyone has their own opinion.
ToriaButtcheek 11
I didn't tell you to like the joke. Calm down.
Guardian88 21
It was a joke...?
hcollins1 18
I never said that you had said that I had to like the joke, learn to comprehend before you comment. All I had said was not all jokes are funny and have to be liked, and just because someone doesn't like the 'joke' does not mean that they cannot take it. How does me saying that mean you're telling me to like it?

IT'S NOT A SOAP OPERA? MY LIFE IS A LIE.
