My parents showed up and I immediately showed my dad how to
work a PS3 to navigate Netflix. His eyes lit up and I knew it was going to be
an easy night for my parents when I answered “yes” to the question he asked,
“you mean I can watch all of these movies for free?”
The wife and I trickled out the door not knowing what or
when we were going to do what we were going to do, until I had an original and
spontaneous thought to go to the movies.
We chose to buy popcorn and M&Ms to eat while watching
the Jack & Jill. When we were greeted by the cashier, he asked, “is there
anything else I can get for you guys?” I said, “Well…can you get her (nodding
my head towards my wife) a sense of humor?” the kid turned red, embarrassed for
my wife and the female worker behind the kid, laughed then quickly straightened
out her face after making eye contact with my embarrassed wife who was laughing
as well. I have to admit, I enjoy embarrassing my wife in good faith because it
just loosens her up some how.
The movie was hilarious, my wife and I decided to laugh 2x
louder than we normally would. I’m not sure where she got the idea from but I
figured on my own that it’s better to annoy then to be annoyed in the theatres.
Because we all know how tough it is to deal with wacky movie watchers, I guess
it’s just a dog eat dog world in theaters.
Dinner at this point could have been served to us in a
holding cell, our jokes and stunts were limitless for a married couple with two
kids. The thought of pushing my wife down to the floor unexpectantly and kicking
her like the WWE pros do in front of the young ihop staff and small party in
the restaurant had passed swiftly through my head. However the thought of
actually getting arrested would have definitely killed the buzz, and then being
on the “Busted Magazine” would have probably ruined my holidays. Haha
When we made it home, my mom asked if she and my dad could
just continue their movie night and then sleep over. My dad ended up watching 5
movies within a 16 hour period. I guess they didn’t have Netflix in Tonga.
