Our Musicalhouse: Almost 30?

Almost 30?

We went to see Step Brothers last weekend, which was really funny, yet really awkward due to the family of 4 sitting next to me, including the elementary age girl who looked at my face to see my reaction during every awkward moment of the movie. Side note: Seriously??? You bring your kids to a rated R movie??? I looked up the detailed rating after we got home and this is what it says: Rated R for crude and sexual content and pervasive language. (That makes me kind of embarrassed that I went to see it) But seriously??? – You take your KIDS to this kind of movie??!?!?!?! Although I could rant about that topic for a while (especially since I work with kids who see EVERY R rated movie that comes out) that’s not the point of this posting. So, as we are walking in to the theater, the 16 yr old movie theater worker boy (complete with headset) stops us at the door of the theater and asks us…for our IDs! We kind of laugh, and ask, Really? He doesn’t laugh. John pulls out his License & the guy examines it for a minute & tells him he’s fine. He looks at me and asks me for my ID. At this point I begin to panic – I look at John with wide eyes & say “I didn’t even bring my purse!” I look at the kid for a minute & finally he says, “I think you’re ok”. Whew! So either I can pass for being 17 or older, or he just figured if a 29 year old was taking a 16 year old to the movies, there were much bigger issues at hand.

Megan said...: Yah, did you notice the toddler a few rows in front of us? That was the most offensive language I have EVER heard in any movie!

Seriously? You got carded to see a rated R movie? That's impressive! I might have to hate you just a little! ;o); August 2, 2008 at 9:38 PM
Katie said...: Yeah, the language was SO bad, & yes I did notice the toddler. His mom seemed annoyed (& surprised?) that he started crying & getting restless during the movie.

Also, I don't think you have to hate me at this point, we're not old ladies yet! Plus, is there any benfit to looking UNDER 17? I don't think so. 21-24=cool, <17=not cool.; August 3, 2008 at 5:22 PM
Megan said...: Yes, you have a point. Especially since our husbands are, in fact, almost 30. I wouldn't be 17 again for all the moola in the world!; August 4, 2008 at 12:35 PM
Dori said...: Wasn't John sporting the after-mission trip beard? I mean, I'd say he looks AT LEAST 18...maybe even 20!!!

I'll go with you guys next time and tell them I'm your legal guardian.; August 10, 2008 at 2:14 PM
Katie said...: I know, right? That's actually John's favorite part of the story. I can't believe I left it out!! Maybe you'll get carded next - there are plenty of pregnant 16 year olds running around these days (just don't mention it's your 4th one).; August 11, 2008 at 12:08 AM

Verses from Philippians

1:21: For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
2:1-11: If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
2:14-15: Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe.
3:7-8: But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ.
3:12-14:Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
