Dad, Mom, Annie and I went to the movies. I believe it was Working Girl, but don't quote me on that. We sat in the the side row, aisle seat and the next three seats down. As we were watching the movie, we heard the couple behind us eating their popcorn. Very loudly. This continued on throughout the movie. Annie, Mom, and I took turns peering behind our shoulders, hoping they would get the hint and stop chewing like cows. But no, they did not stop.
About halfway through the movie, we decided we had had enough. We moved over to the seats closest to the wall. Annie moved first, I waited a few minutes then moved, and a few minutes later, Mom moved. This left Daddy sitting all by himself on the aisle seat. Because his hearing is not up to par, Dad had no idea why we moved down, he did not hear the cud chewers behind us, and he stayed where he was. We soon realized that it may have looked to others in the theatre that the gentlemen on the end was a pervert. But we thought that was a better alternative than to move back within ear shot of the moo cows.
When the movie ended, the three of us stood up and joined Daddy in the aisle and waited for the line of people to move on ahead. All of a sudden, the gentlemen who was part of the cud chewing couple looked at Daddy and said..."Joe...Joe McLaughlin!" It turns out the guy knew Daddy, I believe from Boston Edison. Mom, Annie, and I, being the mature ladies that we are, high tailed it up the aisle in embarrasment and once again left Daddy all by himself.
