We were excited to see the movie Everest last week with our nephew Aaron. He was visiting for Thanksgiving and hoping to get over a recent breakup with fiancé Letisha. Evidently, we chose the wrong location and learned a valuable lesson to avoid the bargain theaters. No sooner had we taken our seats when a rather boisterous family of five sat down behind us. Being an extremely patient man, I figured that their incessant talking and obnoxiously loud rustling of popcorn sacks would cease after the previews. WRONG! The noise intensified and it was clear that the family’s name was accurate. After thirty exasperating minutes, the formerly patient patron in front of The Oblivious Family, got up and moved ten rows ahead in an attempt to enjoy the show. It was only after the movie that I learned the true identity of the father of this unruly clan. Finally, it made sense. I mean…..c’mon….what could you expect?
