Oh Yes I Did

Today I was child-free thanks to Grandma Jann. She missed Max and Wild Thing and couldn’t wait to have them spend some quality time with her. I packed them up and took them over last night and they’ll be home after dinner tonight. So, you ask, what did you do with your free day?

Well…technically, I broke the law. I stole. And now I am being flip about it.

At noon today I went to the theater and paid to see The Devil Wears Prada. At 2:05 I was on my way out to my car when I saw that X-Men 3 started at 1:50. The X-Men theater was right next to the exit. I almost went directly to my car…and then I didn’t. I looked at my watch, calculated what time the movie would end and when the kids would be home. I totally went in and saw X-Men 3. I did it after thinking about it and I had guilt for about 30 minutes. Then I got too wrapped up in the violence to care.

I know you are appalled. Get over it. I’m 35 and I’ve never done it before in my life. Frankly, the opportunity was too good to pass up. If you stop reading me, I’ll understand. If you want to go to the movies sometime, give me a call.

PS…. I LOVED Devil Wears Prada…mainly because of Meryl Streep.

as long as you weren’t wearing your glasses and moustache, I don’t think anyone would notice. :) now repent, and you’ll be all good

Okay… now I just gave my kids the complete commentary on how this is so wrong and they should be ashamed and how it was stealing… and they just looked at me and said, “Mom, the theatre was empty… we stayed and watched so it would be WORTH their time and effort in playing the movie to empty chairs.” – Kids-1, Mom-0 I really do need to lighten up and be more mischievous!!!

I’m disappointed in you, Chili. We all get at least one “breaking-the-law gimme” in life, and you’ve just wasted it on X-Men 3.

I’ve always wondered if people ever really did this. Now I know. :)

You got to see two movies? In one day? I’m in awe. You remember “9 to 5″? Well, “atta girl…”

Alright, I’ll give this to ya. Only because in high school I snuck two MKs(Missionary Kids) into the drive in – via my car’s trunk. hehe. We all do it once. Once, Chili!

All I have to say is …
Don’t Try This At Home.
’nuff said.
