Let's all go to the Lobby

In a similar vein to the last post, I'm now taking my mum to see Wall-E at the cinema tomorrow! She phoned last night and pleaded with me to take her, so I've booked tickets just in my lunch there. She didn't have to plead, for two very good reasons. 1) The blatantly manipulative pitiful-female voice sounds disturbing coming from a 55 year old woman: I really must ask her to stop doing it. 2) I've been wracking my brains for a while now trying to think of a plausible way to see Pixar's latest opus without looking like I'm a sad single guy at the cinema possibly scouting for children to 'befriend'.
Sigh. The perils of being perpetually young at heart in a cynical world.
Mum never gets to see films these days unless I take her. Her friends are all rubbish, and Dad doesn't like cinemas what with being born in the age of chalk-boards and Churchill (The Prime Minister not the Insurance Sales-dog). So it's good that she has me; thankfully her taste in cinema is much the same as mine, our relationship has enough tension in it already, thank you very much Scorpio vs Gemini, without subjecting it to my point-blank refusal to even countenance watching Sex and the City.
