even when the 2 kids are 8 years apart, they have similar likes, eg. fast food & school holidays, as well as differences, eg. the elder girl wanted to watch evan almighty while the boy preferred ratatouille. since the timing for the latter was unsuitable last weekend, i took the girl to evan 1st, while promising the boy i'd take him to the "rat show" another time. the wife's not much of a movie buff.
well, today that time arrived. since i got off early from work, i offered to take him to the afternoon show. naturally he was thrilled. i could sense his anticipation as we took the bubble lift up to the cinema, got the tickets & i suspect his joy was complete with the box of popcorn.
truth be told, other than the rat chase scenes, i doubt if he really understood the movie (he's 5). for my part, i explained that anyone can be a cook, & even he can help mummy in the kitchen. (in the movie, chef gusteau did proclaim that anyone can be a cook but only the fearless can be great.)
i think he was just happy go out with his buddy.....er.....i meant, me. kids can be easy to please & a good animation movie (with popcorn) is a safe bet.

I'm always happy to be able to spend quality time with my dad.
When I was little, it was the movies.. these days we watch F1 together. ;)
Wow, it's nice of you to accompany your son to the movies. I think it means a lot to have his dad as his buddy.
jem,

nyonya,
i'm trying to do with what little time i have left after work & before they doze off.
Today my friends and I were just hanging around at the cineplex but Ratatouille isn't showing in Miri yet. Another friend claimed that he fell asleep watching that in KL.. I concluded it must be 'cos that was a midnight movie show.
lynnx,
animated movies may not be everyone's cup of tea. if your friend watched it around midnite, well, maybe he's run out of movies to watch.
