My day:

Words of advice to families seeing Shrek 2:

If your kid is older than 2, they have to have a ticket.
Two and a half is older than 2, so is 3, so is 4.

Your kid screaming for popcorn in the theatre is not cute.
Your kid screaming anywhere is not cute.
Your kid throwing popcorn for fun is not acceptable.
You are the parent, DO something about it.
If you do nothing, please refrain from acting affronted or shocked that you are being asked to leave.

Running up and down the aisles in a dark theatre is dangerous, that's why adults don't typically do this.

And for theatregoers in general:

I don't know you. Therefore, I don't know where your husband has gone, what theatre your children are in, or which showing of Shrek they went to. And no, you can not go into all 7 theatres and yell for them.

If you don't have enough money for a ticket, you can't go in no matter how much you yell, swear or call me a rascist.

If you are not a member, you may not use the member line. This rule is not in affect because I am "a total bitch" but please go right on thinking that if it makes you feel better.

You cannot have your money back because Van Helsing sucked; especailly if I tried to warn you.

I swear I'm going to send X-rated videos to the next parent that get in my face because they had to "come all the way from the car" to buy 10 year old kids tickets to an R rated movie. Sorry if Showcase doesn't care...you ain't at fucking showcase now, lady.

Wow, I feel so much better having gotten that off my chest.

crazy people! where have all the manners gone?? My kids are the please and thank you and yes ma'am and yes sir types! If they ever acted like little freaks in public they know the consequences...but that isjust it..we have raised them not to run around in the dark or shriek or throw popcorn! Aye Carumba!

Yes, it boggles me how people can let their kids act that way in public. But people get this idea that since someone else is cleaning up the mess its okay to do whatever the hell.

Unbeleivable.

Even if my kids spill in a fast food restraunt I help them clean it up..I cant stand the whole, "its not my job." but it seems that way of thinking is becoming predominate! I cant stand it!!
