Jerusalem: Soaps

A Palestinian Family
Part V
If "Noor" was on TV, the house went completely still. Mom and Dad didn't like the Turkish prime time soap opera, but they watched. Mom still kept tabs on the plot even when she wasn't there. The boys dropped in for an update from their sisters. Salsabil pulled a chair right under the TV to watch glued and deaf to everything else. Mom and Dad's biggest concern about the soap? Muhanad and Noor, the two main characters live together unmarried.

My mom told me when I was a kid that I used to tell people, "We don't watch soap popeyes." Still mostly true, though the older I get the more I can understand why people can become addicted.
