Today, I had to have a serious talk with my 30-year-old husband about why Sesame Street isn't a "soap opera." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

It couldn't possibly be a soap opera. I've seen sesame street characters outside! True soap operas take place solely indoors.

What happens on Sesame Street stays on Sesame Street. Except crabs.

I feel as if my joke was loose and needs to be explained to the public. Oscar the Grouch. Oscar the award. Thank you and have a nice day.

It's been years since I've seen any Sesame Street, so I can't say it isn't a soap opera now (it wasn't when I was kid). Basically, a soap opera is anything where character interaction, relationships and conflict are the driving force of the plot. Game of Thrones? A soap opera. Spider-Man comics? A soap opera (Stan Lee even said this one himself). Even keeping up with celebrity gossip counts as a real-life soap opera.

One is intelligently written, covering real issues that affect people, with the aim of helping you through the dramas that day to day life can bring you. the other is a soap opera.
