Yesterday evening Ben and I were driving past the movie theater in our town and I said, “Ben, how about if we go to the movies?” He only likes to watch movies at home–the movie theaters are too loud for him and he sits holding his ears until we leave. So, as I imagined he would, he said no. “Well,” I said. “How about if we go to a different kind of movie…a movie for grown ups…about love…a movie that’s quiet.” He looked at me from the passenger seat with a big smile on his face and said, “A movie about love? That sounds like a kid’s movie!”
Precious! So what did you see?
Actually he didn’t want to go even to what I was describing. Doubtful it would have been appropriate anyway even if I had been really careful…was thinking of going to see One Day but heard it is terrible.
