I like Opal. She and Earl clearly love each other. We only see the funny parts of their lives, not the foot rubs and long sitting together enjoying each other that happens off-screen.
I worked the night shift when my wife was pregnant with our first and smoking in the office was common. Jackie was feeling fine until I came home in the morning and kissed her. Then she immediately ran to the toilet and threw up. It was a terrible blow to my ego until we realized it was the smoke that was making her sick. After that, I would knock on the door, she would run to the kitchen, I would run to the shower, and only then would I kiss her.
When my daughter was 5 she had an operation which required all her hair be cut off. She was embarrassed when people mistook her for a boy so we had her ears pierced. This would not work now because 5 year old boys sometimes have pierced ears.
It took me a long time to find Bleep.
