4:59 PM me: i decided at work today that i am going to write a soap opera about au pairs
5:00 PM this was after my coworker told me he knew one who crashed the host family's car
5:01 PM and another who had an affair with the husband and then the mom found out and told the agency that the au pair was hitting the kids so they sent her back to her country

isn't that a great soap opera!
