[movies] Etiquette

Dear dad who brought a three-year-old child to the new Harry Potter movie —

When your child is so bored by the movie that they are singing, talking loudly, and protesting in a squeal when you try to hush them, that would be an excellent time to take them out of the theatre for a while. Instead, you were unfair both to your child and the rest of us in the theatre. Also you made my cranky, achey-assed, post-surgical self have to go find a manager to escort you out of the movie, which I don't appreciate having to get up and go do.

No love,

Me
