Cool Mom Points

were awarded to me last night as Jacob and I attended the midnight showing of the new, improved Star Wars 3D movie. None of the other (smart) kids wanted to go. It was only the second midnight showing of a movie I've ever been too.

Probably about 20 years ago, I went to see The Rocky Horror Picture Show with my dad at midnight. It was the last showing of it in a theater that had showed it weekly on Saturday night for years. The theater was closing, so we went to see the hoopla.

I will never forget just watching his expression as we took in all the sights of the people dressed up in costume - throwing toasts, putting up their umbrellas and such. All night long there was almost a continued uttering of, "Well, if that don't beat anything I ever did see." from him. It was hilarious.
