Valuable lessons learned from the movie we went to last night. Take heed.
1. It's less than useful to tell someone that their 3-year-old was eating candy off of the floor while they were changing their baby's diaper. It's too late. What am I supposed to do at that point? Swallowed. Done.
2. If you bring a toddling baby to a double feature, they will fall asleep 15 minuted before the second movie ends. They'll spend the rest of the time trying to get on the stage in front of the screen and trying to eat ANYONE ELSE'S FOOD.
3. One more kid can make a big difference - even when you already have six. The difference is probably only in my stress levels...but those can run high at times.
4. If one of the movies includes martial arts of ANY kind, your 12-year-old son may try to kick open the glass theater doors after the movie. Big body - little kid.
5. ."Nacho" cheddar powder is code for jalepeno cheddar powder. I told them not to do it, but they didn't listen.

I had veritable sympathy pains while reading this.
ReplyDeleteThese ARE very valuable lessons. You did a great job describing your movie excursion as I feel like I was there. :) (Or maybe I just feel like I have been there before!)
ReplyDeleteValuable lessons indeed!
ReplyDeleteYour 1st lesson reminds me of one I get from well-meaning strangers in the subway..."You know you shouldn't let your children put their fingers in their mouths (etc.)... they'll get sick." This being said while I'm telling said children NOT to touch their mouth/nose/face or press them against the handrails or windows. I can't hold 12 hands!
I love the way you write!
