For his 6th birthday, my son received tickets to
the re-release of Star Wars. These
tickets had to be purchased the day before the showing as the theater
anticipated a sell out. Well, that made my son’s day as he loves everything
about Star Wars and can talk at length about any Star Wars movie topic. The tickets were given by my brother and his
wife who also purchased tickets for themselves.
So the day was planned, we would
drive to Terre Haute and pick up my
sister-in-law and her two kids, Nick who is eight and Alex who is four. My brother would be meeting us at the theater
when he got off work. We were told to
arrive at the theater one half hour before the movie started to ensure we could
sit together. We arrived at the required time, but to our
dismay there was not seven seats together.
So I volunteered to sit with my son Logan, the birthday boy and that my
other son Jacob could sit with my brother’s kids as they had found five seats
together. Once the popcorn and drinks
were purchased it was then a matter of entertaining my son for a half an hour
until the movie started. My
sister-in-law was doing the same and waiting for her spouse to arrive. Finally, after exhausting every known means
of entertaining a new six year old I could think of, the movie began. After about thirty seconds into the movie
my four year old niece Alex yelled at her mother “Mom! Mom!”. My sister-in-law who was just settling into a
relaxing two hours of the new enhanced Star Wars responds, “What is it
Alex?”. “Mom!” Alex replied. “I have
already seen this movie!”
