Have you ever described 'The Office' to your mother-in-law?

A few days back I teased my mother-in-law for watching soap operas on TV. She avenged my comments today by laughing hysterically as I described events from "The Office" to Katie. It is a soap opera disguised as a comedy. Since the arrival of our son, Lucas, Katie and I have watched very little television and did not see the first few episodes of The Office. So, after reading summaries of the new episodes online, I was explaining what happened to Katie--that Jim transferred offices, Pam and Roy broke off the engagement, Pam moved out, the offices might combine, and Jim would be Michael's boss. It sounds more like the young and the restless than prime-time comedy. My mother-in-law laughed!
