A week ago I took the kids to see Transformers-well tried to at any rate. The day started out innocently enough, we did all the usual stuff and then went to the shopping centre to see our movie. I took chips and other snacks with us to both save money and keep Conor happy but I obviously forgot that 4 year olds are notoriously unpredictable lol. I have taken him to movies before and he has been really good but they were animated ones which held his interest. This one did not interest him AT ALL.
We got there and all he wanted was his snacks and he began demanding them at full volume from the very second we sat down. After receiving them he began regalling me with a commentary of the theatre's decorating style- "look at that light mummy!" etc etc etc. I think I said "shush Conor" about a billion times all to no avail.
Anyway all was relatively ok until the snacks ran out and then it was a disaster-Conor was trying to climb on the seats, jump around, squeal etc etc etc until I felt like throttling him! In the end I gave up; told Mika and Cody that I was taking Conor out and they should just stay in their seats, watch the movie and I'd be right outside when they got out. I then grabbed Conor and left-I think the people behind us would have lynched us had I kept Conor there any longer!
As I was going out a security guy was coming in- probably on his way to tell us we had to leave
:( so luckily I got in first. He asked if it was too much for the little one and I said he was driving everyone nuts so we had to leave. He then took us out to get a refund for the tickets and let us wait right outside the door of the theatre where the kids were to wait for them. I was pretty happy about that.
Conor was ecstatic to be out and put on his 'I'm such a cutie' act for me-errrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!! Little bugger!
