Girls Night Out
We all know that my girls and I are Twilight-aholics. Last night we decided we would have a girls night out and go see the latest installment "Eclipse". Jim decided he didn't want to be left behind and wanted to tag along. He was worried the girls would be upset with him going, but I assured him that it would be fine, but he had to remember that it was GIRLS night out and not Dad's. He asked Jake if he wanted to go too, but Jake just laughed at him and "No, you just go have a good time" snickering at his Dad while pushing him out the door. Everything was going fine until we reached the movie theater and he saw the people waiting to buy tickets....got tickets....sat down in theatre....and he watch wide eyed as the seats filled up with teenage girls and either their moms or boyfriends....We told Jim there would be some Werewolf and Vampire action in this movie, but neglected to tell him that it was only a small part and the rest was romance. He sat there quietly watching, munching on his popcorn and snowcaps, and sighing heavily. When the movie ended, we told Jenny (who was in a separate car) to follow us to McDonald's. Jim is stunned and wanted to know "Why are we going there???" Our answer is "Because that's what we do". When we get our order and sit down, the conversation, of course, turns to the movie and other "girlie topics". Poor Jim. He finally has enough of the discussions, gets up, and leaves us to go sit outside where he calls Jake and starts complaining much to Jake's amusement. We decide it's time to take Dad home and I don't think I have ever seen him looked so relieved. I wonder what he will say next time it's a girls night out..."Can I go?" or "See you when you get back"...........
