Karate Kid

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

One of the theaters in town has the seats with arms that can push up, so you can sit beside someone without the arm between you if you want. We went to that theater specifically so I could better hold GlitterGirl during the violent parts. She still gets in my lap at home, but not [...]
