I personally have not been to a movie in years. Having said that....my youngest son who turned 9 wanted to take 7 school mates to the new birds movie as part of his birthday party.
Like most Dads I do not tend to think things through to the end, and agreed that he should take his buddies to the movie. A nice way to spend a Saturday I thought.
My wife loaded them into the van and off they went.
I never thought another thing about it until a few weeks later I was reading our bank statement.
$158 dollars? At the movies? Holy Cow I said.
And that is how the argument between my wife and I started.
"That is what is costs" she said.
I replied with "Back in my day I saw a movie for 3 dollars."
It was then I realized I sounded exactly like my Dad.
I still can't believe what it cost.
