Justin always gets the week of July 4th off. I tried to plan something every day for the kids. We went to the zoo, wading pool, library and had general fun. There's a discount movie theater about 10 minutes from our house and on Fridays they have matinees. Since Liam loves irates and we'd had success when we took them to see the Muppets movie, I figured that'd be an easy activity to go see the Pirates! Band of Misfits. 4 tickets ($12) and unlimited popcorn and air conditioning made us all happy. Until the last 20 minutes when Queen Victoria turns into a rampaging maniac and Liam starts crying inconsolably and clings to Daddy until Justin takes him out into the foyer and multiple theater workers are asking if he's going to be okay. So all in all, not a success. But we had fun the rest of the week until some old guy got up in church and gave a talk on how all Liberals are going to hell and that any one who protests wars is a bad church member. But that's another story.
I still think the worst bit was the conversation I had with Liam in the lobby.
ReplyDeleteMe: 'Liam, are you okay?'
Liam: Sniffling 'Yeah.'
Me: 'Do you want to go back in and watch the movie?'
Liam: 'No!' Curls up into a ball and clutches his stuffed dog.
Dude - sounds awesomely awful but good to know since it's exactly the kind of thing we would subject small children to as well :P
