Movie Date

Almost four years old, and Mason had never been to the movies. Granted, he still doesn't even watch much TV so he never knew what he was missing, but still. He saw a preview for The Lorax and wouldn't stop talking about it - it's one of his all-time favorite books (and mine, too, so I can't really blame him).

Anyway, when it came out last weekend, him and I made a date of it.

I've never had a date sit on my lap throughout an entire movie before (or throughout any length of a movie, I would imagine, hah), but Mason wasn't heavy enough to hold the seat down, so we didn't have much of a choice. My legs went numb, but the movie was cute. Maybe a little flashy and over-advertised for a movie based on a book that condemned commercialism and corporate greed but, well, I'm the only one who thinks about that stuff. Dr. Seuss probably wouldn't have loved it, but Mase definitely did. And I'll admit, I did tear up a little, at the end.

Way-buttery popcorn and an hour and a half of TV, what's not to love?
