Overheard

There is a kids' cereal commercial (Cocoa Puffs, maybe?) that features a crazy cartoon opera, complete with a blond Viking lady. So my kids were watching TV tonight and this is what I happened to hear...

Dude: That is one bad soap opera.
Super: That's not a soap opera. That's just an opera.
Dude: Oh. Then what's a soap opera?
Super: A soap opera is when you have deep, dark secrets.
Dude. Oh. I thought that was Oprah.

I swear, my kids have never seen an opera, a soap opera, or Oprah! But they got it just about right, didn't they?
