It's of course the season of summer blockbusters.
After the excellent first movie experience we had, we decided we want to do another. This time, however, we thought it'd be nice if we brought the kid (and his mum) whom we are sponsoring along too.
I am actually rather uncomfortable to spend that much time with them because the mother always seems very... thankful. It just makes me uncomfortable because we just want to help and not really looking for anything else.
In any case, we decided to go pick them up because the cinema is a little far from their house.
As it happens, the kid's grandfather was visiting and he was waiting with them for us by the side of the road. When he saw me, he couldnt stop thanking us and the look of gratitude in his eyes... heart wrenching.
We decided to go Macdonald's first to chill before the movie. His mum told us that he has never eaten Macs before. That was a little odd for me that a seven-year old child has never been to Macs. *shudder*
Kid was a little fidgety while we were waiting for the show to start. I kinda regretted bringing him at that point. Thought it might have been easier to buy them the movie tickets and let them watch themselves, but that would be quite heartless and quite absent-father-like. But.. Im not the father....
The movie started pretty soon and he was silent for quite a while presumably overawed by the 3D effects. In the middle of it, he leaned over and said he needed to go to the toilet as he wanted to poop. POOP?!? I asked him to ask his mother who's on his right. Haha.
Thankfully there wasnt anymore shenanigans after that and I was free to watch the movie. Too bad Gwen Stacy died.
