I wanted to go and see Wicked (the movie). RD and MyGirl were more than willing to go watch it with me. Last weekend, MyGirl checked online and figured that ticket prices on Tuesday are half price. So it was a date!
MyGirl asked whether we should go for the reclining seats for an extra $3. It didn't really matter to me because I was primarily interested in watching the movie. Watching in style was secondary. In the end, the kids decided that experiencing a movie in reclining seats would be best when tickets are half-price. Let's do it. Go reclining seats!
Armed with the decision of the date and the reclining seat, MyGirl began finalising the ticket booking. She called over to her brother and asked if it was ok for them to split my ticket cost. RD said, "Sure, no problem."
When the transaction was completed, she said, "You can just Beem me, Kuya."
"I can pay for my ticket," I offered. This immediately triggered a duet of "No!" from the kids.
Oh yeah! Awesome kids! Reclining seats! Free ticket! We're going to see Wicked!
We followed the yellow brick road.
As an added note, I was really happy that we were able to see the movie and the fact that we watched on the seventeenth of December was particularly significant. One year ago, on Sunday 17 Dec, MyGirl was in Melbourne, GI and RD were at home, but I was at the Emergency Room in Westmead with MacGyver. I honestly thought my number was up when I couldn’t move my arms and legs without focusing and thinking. It was scary!
I was fortunate enough to watch the Wicked musical with London Eye back in 2018 and I am extremely lucky to have watched the Wicked movie with the kids last Tuesday.
