a friend of ours (BRETT) gave us some free tickets to see a sneak preview of the TOOTH FAIRY last night. since we were planning on spending money on our kids to see it anyways, we figured what the heck, let's SEE IT FOR FREE. the only catch was a)it was downtown b) need a babysitter for the two year old and c) we don't ever do the free sneak preview thing because it is such a pain and we are TOO LAZY to deal with pains. so, i found a babysitter, my lovely wonderful mom and sister and we headed downtown an hour before the movie was going to start. by this time, our kids were EXTREMELY EXCITED about seeing this movie. we get to the ticket desk and they tell us that all they have left are 2 tickets and they weren't even seated together. we take our kids over by the front door and LET THEM DOWN. Kylee (ms. drama queen) starts crying and saying that her night is RUINED. we ask Brenton what he would like to do (like go out to eat and get some chocolate after) and he says, "i want to see the movie THE TOOTH FAIRY!". while Walter and i are trying to talk our inconsolable 8 and 6 year olds into doing something else (unbeknownst to us) a couple is standing right next to us watching the meltdown take place. they then approach us and say, "are you guys trying to see the movie the tooth fairy?". we reply, "yes, can you tell how well our children take no for an answer?". they then say, "hey we have these 4 tickets that are all next to each other and i am just waiting for my brother." Walter says, "no that's OK, we can't take your tickets." they then look at our kids and say, "really take them, i just won them on the radio and my brother will be ALOT easier to deal with than these 2 kids. PLEASE TAKE THEM AND ENJOY!" to which we reply "THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH" and then we smacked our kids heads and said "SHOW A LITTLE APPRECIATION HUH? THESE KIND PEOPLE JUST GAVE US THEIR TICKETS CAUSE YOU GUYS AREN'T SPOILED ENOUGH."
anyways...we got to see the movie, which our children enjoyed immensely. and honestly the whole point of this post was, whoever you are (since we didn't get your names) you have reaffirmed my faith in kindness in people. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR GIVING US YOUR TICKETS! I WOULD GIVE YOU A BIG FAT KISS ON THE LIPS IF I COULD!
my kids are now complaining of stomach aches from eating too much popcorn. i would say I TOLD YOU SO but,i have one too.
Thanks Brett!

now do you see why linzi and I are so nice to do the whole movie premiere thing..its a pain in the butt. remember you have to exchange tix at 4 then go back for the movie. I think you realize now how much work it is when most of the time we are already there waiting with the tix:) sorry had to give myself a pat on the back;)....so glad you got to see it.
Glad to hear the movie was good, and that humanity still has a heart. Perhaps they were tooth fairies or something. :)
