There's always a first time

We gave the boys a surprise the other day. And that too on a school night. We took them to watch a movie at PVR. Toy Story 3, to be precise. Some may think, what's the big surprise here? Well, let me confess.....my children had never been to a movie theatre before this. All the mvies they have watched have been on the PC at home so far. We never took them before for the fear of them getting squirmy and irritating others.

When Lindo and I (shhh....not many know) went to watch Avatar, we were struck by the number of kids that were there for the movie.....that day we watched the trailer of "How to train your dragon" and decided that this was probably the right movie to start their theatre going.....but we chickened out last moment....you see, Nathan loves movies only when he sees talking animals.

So anyways, last Thursday we went....we figured that half the crowd would anyways be kids....not many should be bothered by one squirmy kid. The boys were very excited when they realised we were going to watch a movie (the only person they knew who had watched a movie was Curious George - if he qualifies for a person). SO, in we went, armed with popcorn and other eatables.... The movie started....and we encountered our first problem. Tim couldn't see! Quickly found a solution. We put Lindo's bag on the seat and he sat on top of that. They ate through the complete movie. When the popcorn got over (around 5 minutes to interval), I heard Nathan from his father's lap....'popcorn.....more....'. Thankfully the lights came on and Lindo ran to refill our provision.

The movie got over at 9:10 PM....the boys were really happy. The movie was really nice. I mean, what more do you need? Talking dinosaurs and pigs, flying Buzz lightyear and what nots! Tim is already asking when we'd go again and we have told him that they admit one person only once for the same movie.....works for now.....we'll not be this lucky next time....
