Parents Day At The Movies

I really hate posts that are full of negative stuff..but sometimes one just can't help what he/she feels...so here goes...

The other day, as I was sitting with my parents, my Mother asked me what was playing in the cinemas..she was thinking of taking my Dad to watch a movie since they haven't done that in ages...I was pretty excited for them...so I slowly went over the steps on my Mom's PC to show her how she can reserve her seats and pay for them through KNCC.

The whole process took some patience but I enjoyed it thoroughly since my Mother gets very excited when she learns something new that is internet related. I explained that once she got to the cinema, she'll have to put her credit card through the machine and blah..blah..blah...I told her that if she had any problems to ask anyone there since they're pretty helpful.

Two days had past since then and I had gotten pretty busy but kept wondering why my mother never mentioned the movie which wasn't like her...

When I finally walked into work today, I asked her.

"I didn't want to tell you" she said.

My first thought was that they missed the movie because she couldn't figure out getting the tickets but that wasn't it.

"I got the tickets and I was very proud of myself when the tickets came out and we went and sat on our seats. Unfortunately, we sat infront of two women with a ten year old boy who kept kicking our seats and finally grabbed and pulled at your fathers gutra!" I sat as I listened with my mouth wide open. It looked like it was about to get worse.

My Mom is never one to let such behavior pass so she apparently turned around and told the mother to tell her kid to stop bugging them. The woman ignored her and this continued until the movie ended.

As they came to leave the movie, my Mom went to the ladies room and as she came out, she found the two women standing around my Dad and screaming their heads off at him.

She said the whole scene was so ugly and my Dad being the quite type just wanted to go home (which is something I appreciate though I often want him to go out more which was the whole point of my Mom taking him to the damn movies!)...

My Mom said the women kept yelling and screaming and saying profound words that neither of my parents felt comfortable dealing with.

"Entay mino emfakra nafsich o yaya wiya raylich ba3ad"...she

"Laish ma etgolee 7ag wildich ena ye7terum nafsa" my Mom

"Laaaaa...wentay shakoo?"...

Apparently, it went on and on for a while until it got so bad that my Mom and Dad finally walked away. The weird thing is when my Mom called out the driver's name, the other woman had followed them and started calling out our driver's name too...

esh hal ta7'aluf!!!

etc..etc..etc...we've all seen enough drama of that sort...but I was so upset that my parents who were looking so forward to such an outing for a change yet had been faced with such ugliness..I tell you....is there no running away from such people...UGH!

The worst part is that my Dad is such a peaceful type and I just couldn't imagine any younger women being able to behave like that towards him...partly because he looks distinguished and partly 'coz he's an older man....3aib...walla 3aib...ma buga 7aya fee el balad!

All I regretted was not having taught my Mom how to take pictures from her mobile..that way she could've taken a picture of that stupid B@#$CH and I'd be out looking for her now!...or at least posted her damn picture with this post...ARRGHHHHHGHHH...
