Yesterday, as promised I took my kids to the cinema. It was supposedly on my birthday but the movie they want to see is not showing until Friday which is not favourable as my husband is working. So we all agreed to watch it on Saturday.
Saturday came we get up late but still have plenty of time as I booked our tickets online for 12nn. We left the house at 10:30 am. The cinema isn't that far from us, just 20 minutes and we'll be there. We went out early so we can bring the Christmas card to Mum's friend that lives in Ballynahinch.
But unfortunately, we were stuck in traffic on our way back and couldn't make it on time to the cinema. I was disappointed thinking I wasted money booking it online and we were not able to watch it. The tickets are non-refundable. So I decided that I'm going to just buy a new ticket when we get there to the cinema to make sure. The next one is for 1:00 so it's not that bad. The kids were so excited when we get there.
It's a young fella who assisted me at the counter asking me the movie we're gonna watch and it's "Clifford the Big Red Dog" I answered. I told him that I booked it for 12 but we didn't make it on time because of traffic. And he said we just have to pay a new one and before I tap my card to pay a man behind stopped the young fella and told him to just scan my code the one that I paid for and told me that that would do. And smile at me. He's the manager.
Look how much the ticket is. So I'm thankful for the good man and his act of kindness, I don't need to pay again. I didn't waste any money. And I'm over the moon.
I was so happy and thankful for his action. That's so kind of him. That's the Christmas spirit! I thank him and we get our popcorn and drinks. I get myself nachos and cheese and off we went to screen 4 to see our movie!
Haha, look at Tia's funny face. Even before the movie starts were already eating our food.
And even before the movie starts there are kids behind us that keeps talking and making fun with each other throughout the show. They are loud. And I can't focus on watching. I wish their parents can tell them to keep it low but no. I love to watch in peace. I enjoy the laughs in between movies but the constant talking in a very loud voice is very inconsiderate to others. But yes they were kids.
The man in front of them with his son wasn't able to take it and leave. Jigs and Tia didn't say anything so as long as they are enjoying were good.
The movie is great! It was funny and the kids will learn from it. They keep laughing and most of the time Tia says "Aww, so cute!"
But what I want them to learn and be reminded of is bullying. How Emily was bullied in the film and need a friend and found tiny Clifford in the magical tent. How bullying affects a person. That bullying is bad. And that they should be nice to others.
Have you seen this film? Did you enjoy it?
Thank you for reading.
I really miss a this fun day out when I was a kids, because I was with my step mom
