So here we are sitting in the theater, waiting for the movie . . . for two hours! So we moms observed. We first observed the type of people who would actually get to the theater two hours before the show started. We observed mostly girls but there were a few boys being dragged by their current significant other. On the adult side, we observed there were other moms like us, who totally don't believe our sweet, impressionable female offspring should be attend a teenage romance movie at midnight without the appropriate adult supervision. We observed a local DJ come to get the crowd excited for the event. He had a few contests. We observed some teenagers get up and try to make animal noises. Others got to sing. Kids got some CD's for just being plain goofy.
Then it happened. The screen flickered. Just that mere act caused a wave of high pitched screams. It wasn't even the show but the beginning of previews. Mind you they had to start with the preview of the upcoming Harry Potter movie (there were a few shrieks just for that). Everytime a new preview, a new wave a adolescent females screamed, thinking it was the movie.
By the time the movie actually began, I had determined that it would be prudent to make an appointment with my hearing doctor the following week. I am sure that I lost some auditory capability. Ah, and to think I used to thrive on rock concerts in my youth!
Anyway, finally Twilight began. As each actor made their debut on the screen, the screaming started up again. I hate to admit it, but I do believe the starter screams began with my own little bookshelf of teenagers (not the boys of course). Probably most teachers wish their students had this kind of enthusiasm for their classes.
Next I will let you in on one of my parent spying results . . .
