I had to refrain from laughing at Bobo when she said she wanted to go see the “Alvin, Semen and Theodore” movie today. After I corrected the name, J and I decided to divide and conquer the kids; he stayed home with Chip, while Bobo and I had a girl’s day out. The Chipmunk movie was actually pretty cute, and we had a good time.
Although, I have to say, Bobo is a pretty expensive date. I hadn’t been to a movie in a while, and it shocked me what they’re charging these days. $7.50 for a kid’s matinee ticket… really?? We hadn’t eaten lunch yet, so we stood in line for popcorn and hotdogs. Whoosh, there goes another 20 bucks. It’s highway robbery, I tell you.
I remember when I was a kid, and we used to go to the movies for $1, AND they let you bring in your own grocery bag full of home-popped popcorn. It’s true. And we didn’t even have to walk uphill both ways in the snow to get to the theatre…
