Kids’ movie at MC!

Last week went with a friend and six kids to watch the Bee movie at MC. We reserved the tickets and got some good seats at the row just before the last. Mistake number one do not take the last row or seats close to the last row when going with kids. The last row was filled with young couples doing their own thing. I was tired of pulling down curious three to four year olds with “mummy what are they doing?” “What are they doing aunty S” non stop. The six to eight year olds were busy turning staring behind and giggling.

I agreed to go to the movie thinking could catch up with some much needed sleep (god can’t remember sleeping in the afternoon in ages). The movie was really good. I mean it was funny except the hero was a bee. But ignoring all that it was humorous and all had a good time (including the couples behind!). I feel sorry for their lack of privacy since they obviously cannot hang out at Galle face anymore or any parks. But then again it’s a public place and I really wish they would keep their hands to themselves when the majority of the people at that particular venue were kids. Especially when the three year old asks in her ever loud voice “Are the akka and aiya behind loving each other very much aunty S?” The mother next to me just smiled but some people in the front row turned and stared.

Only one hitch was when I got carried away with the bee romancing a human (this was in the movie not in the backseat) and ate someone’s popcorn to hear a shriek “Mummy don’t eat my popcorn”. Then had to settle the wailing four year old and go get more popcorn….
