A night where nobody got grounded

My Honey had band practice on Saturday and Sassy was involved in a sleepover. That left me and the Bandit alone to come up with someway to entertain ourselves. I thought we should do something that didn’t involve what we usually do together: fight over homework or the state of his room. hotel transylvania

I thought a nice date would be perfect.

I got us tickets to see Hotel Transylvania 2 at The Roadhouse Cinema. He’s never been to the Roadhouse and I thought he’d really enjoy it. It’s one of those theaters that has the leather reclining chairs and serves a full menu.

We got there early and found our seats. He was pretty impressed by the chairs even before he sat in one. When I showed him where the electronic switch was that reclined the back and lifted the legs he looked at me in awe. “Why aren’t we always at this theater?” He then proceeded to go up and down approximately fifty-two times, which is actually twice less than the amount of times I did it on my first visit.

He was even more impressed when the pretzel with cheese and mustard sauce arrived along with chocolate chocolate-popcornpopcorn. The concept of pushing a button to summon a waiter was like an epiphany in the theater going experience. “Push the button again. Tell them to hurry up with our sodas.” I fear that if my son goes to this theater too often he’ll turn into Napoleon.

Another bright spot was the preview for the new Peanuts movie. Personally, I can’t wait. I have a real soft spot for Woodstock and Schroeder and Linus and Pigpen. I’m pretty fond of Marcie and Snoopy and The Little Red Haired Girl, too. And all the music.

Our movie was funny, although The Bandit found the first to be funnier. What I enjoyed was trying to figure out the all the celebrities doing the voices.

And my chocolate popcorn.
