Kiddy Slasher Flick

My new friend Sheena took her daughter (age six) to the movies this week to see Wally. They got some popcorn and sat down to watch the previews. The first preview was for a cartoon (so far, so good). Then the second preview came on and Sheena saw a bunch of coffins lined up. There was a bunch of screaming and slashing sounds and a knife with blood ripping through the air. Her husband grabbed their daughter and hustled her out, took her for a walk. Sheena stayed to guard their seats and popcorn. There was another nice preview, and then another X-rated one.

Sheena went to work the next day and told the story to a co-worker. He was all, "Yeah, didn't anyone warn you?" He says when he takes his kids, they buy popcorn and eat it in the lobby until the previews are finished. It's amazing what becomes sooo common knowledge that you don't even bother to tell people!
