U is for Univision

I've written in the past about telenovelas

or Spanish soap operas.

And, I've written about how much Momma

LOVES her soaps.

Even on vacation, she's worried about her shows.

She's only following one right now, 

"Pasion y Poder"

but still if I can, when I can, 

she wants to keep up on what's happening.

So I pull out the iPad and fire up

Hulu or our satellite network and

stream the latest episode for her.

And, then she tries to drag me into the story...

"Well that one is having an affair with this other

one's wife, but he really loves his own wife

who had an affair, but divorced him because of his affair

and even though she's still in love with him

she tells him she doesn't ever want to see him again."

And, just like that, BAM!  You're sucked in.

Actually, I stopped watching telenovelas because

they were sucking me in... I was spending too much time just trying to keep

up on the stories and missing important things... like gardening or

cleaning the house on my days off.

But, Momma can enjoy them.  It gives her something

to look forward to in the evening, and something

to talk about during the day... 

And, I don't mind listening,

because, really, they can get quite intriguing...
