the movies

Juan Pablo and I went to the movies the other night. It cost about $10 for both of us including a small popcorn and a drink. We saw Ratatouille about the rat that is a chef and it was really cute. The theater was packed! They sell tickets like at a real theater...row 5 seat 10...and give you a little paper with your seat number on it. We had to buy tickets from a guy off the street because all the seats were taken and he had two together, like scalping. They show you to your seat and people always sit in other seats so you have to keep your number or the guy will ask to see your ticket if someone else wants your seat. The theater was packed full of kids! Of all ages, babies, toddlers, and older. And they were good. There was no crying or talking. But the family next to us had to keep getting up, and the seats are so tight I had to get up to let them by, and the last time they did it my seat broke!! One side was almost sitting on the floor and I was lopsided. It was kinda funny but not really. Luckily there was only like 10 minutes left. Then when it is over, they open these huge doors on the side so everyone can get out quickly instead of filing back the way we came.
