Yesterday afternoon GS1, aged 6 and I went to the cinema. It was busy there, obviously a popular choice for a dull drizzly last day of the school holidays.
There were 3 children's films showing. He had seen Mary Poppins Returns , and he chose The Grinch from the other two.
We arrived at the cinema and I told him he could chose 6 sweets from Pick and Mix, one for each year of his age. He had never had Pick and Mix before so was happy.
We bought the tickets and paid for the sweets. GS told the man serving us that he was So Excited
A rather offhand girl checked our tickets and told us which screen to go to. Off we set, and in we went to Screen 4. 'It's started!' announced GS, 'it's Mary Poppins!'. 'That will be a trailer' I said as we walked right down to row D. The screen seemed bigger than I expected and the trailer was still playing, so we hurriedly left. I then steered GS to the next door and we proceeded to go down to row D. Me steering GS and holding his box of sweets. I could hear GS saying 'It's still Mary Poppins Grandma'.
'Oh dear I said, maybe we are still in the wrong screen!' We hurried out. A dear little girl aged 12 or 13, a member of the audience followed me out and asked if we were lost. Now I know I am old LOL. I thanked her very much and said we would be fine .
Checking our tickets it said screen 5. We had been into screen 4. Twice! The offhand ticket check girl had either told me the wrong screen or mumbled so much I misheard.
All was fine, we found our much smaller screen and took our seats. The adverts were playing so we had missed nothing. All evening yesterday I kept chuckling to myself about everyone seeing us enter the wrong screen twice, through different doors, a small boy patiently telling an adult they were in the wrong film
