Toddler trouble!!

This one happened when i went for a movie last week.i was seated near the end. The film had just started and the credits were rolling in. Suddenly my view was blanked out by two huge figures as they went past me after taking sufficient time to do stamp all over my foot!! It was a couple and finally after a lot of heaving and shuffling they were seated.

The film started and it incidentally happened to be a horror flick ( the makers thought it to be). Ten minutes into de movie i felt something soft poking me on my arm. I was startled and i sat up all shaken only to realise the couple had taken care to bring their baby for the movie(maybe they wanted him to learn the art of film making early and become a Hitchcock later on). Whatever they thought, i realised ,was not good news to me after the toddler had kicked me five times or so!

I don’t know if it was the film or anything that baby had against me(that was unlikely since i loved babies until then) but he sat upright on his dads lap and started hitting me. This was highly unfair considering the fact that he had to reach out to hit me when his dad was so near him. I ignored this little “bully” and he went all quite silent after that.

Half an hour of peace prevailed and the ghosts were streaming in and out of the movie when a blood curdling scream rang out near me. I was shocked beyond my wits only to realise it was de “tiny terror” venting his frustration. Obviously the ghostly silence didn’t seem to suit his whims. The intermittent screams continued to test my patience right throughout. Finally when the end credits rolled up i turned to this “ fellow” only to see him smile smugly in his dad’s arms, and i am pretty sure i saw him give me an evil grin that said ” gotcha big fellow”!!!

p.s: i implore all newborns to please keep their distance from cinemas!
