I love this show. It is amazing. After seeing it opening weekend, I walked away not knowing if I would even let Kenna see it. It is pretty intense. She is insane though, and loves that stuff. She is the one that gets on Youtube and looks for ghost sighting and stuff, then laughs!! Well, eventually some of our kids' friends had seen it and were telling Kenna and Brady how "awesome" it is. So for the last month this is what I have been hearing from Brady.
"When can I see Dark Knight?"
"Mom, Did you see Dark Knight?"
"Can I see Dark Knight for my birthday?"
"Is the Joker scary?"
"Matthew saw Dark Knight."
"Mom, you said I could see Dark Knight for my birthday, huh."
"See, Kenna, I get to see Dark Knight for my birthday, only not in the movie theater."
You get the picture...this kid was obsessed with wanting to see it. Marcus and I decided that we would take them to the matinee this weekend. Knowing this, I was trying to describe Two-Face...I thought he would be the one to freak him out the most. He is pretty nasty. He kept telling me that he knew what Two-Face looked like from the Batman we have at home... (Batman Forever with Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face. SOOO not even close to this new guy.) Marissa went to Aunt Sam's and we took Mallory, Kenna and Brady to the show. We didn't tell Brady what we were watching.
Once it started and he realized what it was he was soo excited and did really great. Until that great part where the Joker and Batman are fighting in the streets and blowing up cars. The Joker's face paint is melting at this point and he looks freaky. Brady asks me "Mom, did you have nightmares after you saw-ed this show?" I tell him no, that is is all just pretend...now I am feeling like a SMOY. (Shit Mom Of the Year). We kept him stocked with popcorn, soda, pucker powder and nachos, hoping that if he needed the distraction he had it.. Meanwhile, Kenna and Mal gal are not even sitting by us. We could hear Kenna saying "Ha ha...Awesome!" throughout the show. Bonus about going right before it leaves the theaters is that there were only 2 other people in the theater, that is always nice.
So, Harvey gets burned and I tell Brady that he is going to be 2 Face and that is why, because he was burned really bad in a fire... He instantly climbs on my lap and buries his face in my shoulder. He didn't watch the rest of the show...he would peek every now and then, but he never did see 2 face, which really is probably a good thing.
We left and he was being all tough. "Did you see that one part, Kenna?" Little fart. No nightmares last night...I have to say I am a little shocked. Oh well, now he can say he has seen it.

I am with Brady. I couldn't hardly look at his face. I loved the movie though. I have never heard of SMOY before. Pretty funny.
I guess I better get on the ball. We have not seen it yet. I have heard it was pretty scary at times. You seem to have some brave little kids!
Oh my goodness!! I remember wanting to take Bryan to the movie with me for a company outing. I told the rest of the peeps here at the office and they were like, 'Uh, isn't he a little young for that.' Me, I'm thinking...uh, heck no. You are talking about a little boy whose favorite movie has more blood/guts and gore than anything worth talking about.
I love Brady's reaction. That is AWESOME. And, PS, I always wanted to know What SMOY was...thanks for the clarification. Better that than MILF, right. Oh, that cute kid, who could have nightmares after that movie....? ;) Not strong B-dawg.
That is so funny! I loved the show but had to pee twice in it and Brandon said I missed the two best joker parts. Ha ha! It was so long and I must have drank way to much water at it. Oh well guess I will see it again sometime. Love the blog.
