Tonight when the house lights dimmed in the movie theater, panic struck. No, it wasn’t a justifiable riot over the price of concessions. It was me and my old friend panic.
Many months have passed since a panic attack toyed with me. Or was it last week? Anyway, I had a moderate episode as the trailers started. A college student in a football jersey, his head shaped like an elf, plopped down next to me. That part was all right, but then he pulled socks onto his feet.
The thought of someone with an elf shaped head was creepy. But the thought of someone coming to the movies to put socks on their feet while sitting next to me was too much to bear.
So to Mr. College Student: Next time please wear proper foot gear to the cinema. Besides the obvious health risks and my discomfort level, socks work best when applied before leaving the home.
Sam, there could have been several reasons. Just a few follow:
Perhaps the elf-head boy was putting on an ostentatious display of innocuous desuetude. Were you watching Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at the movie? Perhaps he put the shoes on before the socks originally by mistake.
rutreau half the time you comment I need a dictionary to keep up. the other half I need pepto bismol.
thanks for your comments. they keep me on my toes.
