Friday family night at the movies

Ok, so I went to see "Friday the 13th" with my son Adam. The movie was not good for several reasons. One of which was the over the top gratuitiss(Scary Mom - How do you spell "gratuitous?") sex scenes which should have earned this an NC-17 rating. Adam had been wanting to see this movie for a while. Once we got there it was quite uncomfortable for both of us to watch. For once I was thankful that there was one of the nine people in the theater, rude enough to be talking on his cell phone in a normal speaking voice. This was a catalyst for both of us to complain to each other and distract us from what was going on in the movie. Now, this only lead us to noticing something else going on that was shocking to us both. Directly behind us was a constant and continuous murmuring of 2 parents talking, interrupted only a few times every 5 seconds by the voice of a five year old little boy asking things like "what are they doing?" and "Are they Dead?"
When the movie was over both Adam and I stopped and observed this family of four out on what seemed to be a family outing. Note that I said family of four. They also had there little baby there as well. Nothing like Friday family night at the movies. We both wanted to say something to them but were both at a loss for words. Adam still is shocked and talking about "Those people that brought that little kid."
