I Didn't Get My MEAL

Me and food have a GREAT relationship.

Saturday, I was promised a meal that I didn't get. The popularity of the Transformers 2 movie caused a nigga to be in line ( even though we bought our tickets online ) for at least an hour. I'm an easy date and when I say "easy", just know that if I'm fed, I won't cause no problems. I think the fact that i'm quick to smuggle some sh** inside the theatre has spoiled my husband into to thinkin' i'ma be alright.

Those of y'all who have kids know dates come a dime a dozen once "comfort" sets in. That's one thing I WILL give my dude 'cause he realizes that every once and a while, it's imparitive that we take at least one night to go do somethin'. Long story short, I was lookin' forward to the evening. Our IMAX showing was at 7 and while we was in line waitin' to get inside, it dawned on me that the movie is 2 and a half hours long.....and since we didn't eat no where before we GOT there.....that come 9:30, the chances of us goin' to a restaurant were slimmer than Prince's waistline without a jacket on. I look up at my dude and I'm like"um.........whus' up on the meal, my nigga?"

He tells me "Meal?.....nigga, you should still be full from lunch. I am." - then laughed.

I paused......

and then..................

He gave me the "eyebrow raise" and all but told me to kick rocks.

Y'all know concession stand prices are a bad dream and if I can help it, I don't even subject myself to their robbery but I hadn't eaten since lunch time and there was so way I was jus' gon' sit there and drink on my damn saliva so I told that nigga to anti up with the wallet and run that cash. He gave me some lil' change or whatever and then gon' ask me to bring him back a Coke.

Nigga, a regular coke is like $4 dollars! And they got they nerve chargin' at damn $6.50 for a hand-held pizza! See, THAT's why I smuggle sh**. That's why I'll come in there with 2 damn drinks stuck up my sleeves and a warm tupperwear container IN my bag full of food, but this time I was unprepared 'cause I was promised a meal in advance *rolls eyes*

Anyway, so when I GET back into the theatre, I run up on this sh**

you'll have to excuse the darkness of the photo but some broad had brought her newborn baby and parked her ass RIGHT near us. A speaker was right above her head so you know when the movie came on, the baby got irritated. *gives you all the knowing look*

She had 4 other kids with her, plus her mate, plus relatives and them damn IMAX tickets were NOT cheap. She COULDA got a baby sitter and THAT'S why she needed one of these upside her head if not more than that!

*rolls eyes again*

Fortunately, we got thru this thing and the movie tamed my irritation but I jus' wanted to share wit' y'all how part of my weekend went.

I got a "meal credit" for next time and if this nigga don't come thruuuuuu *shakes head*

It's gon' be trouble.

Y'all jus' might turn on the news and see my ass gettin' stuffed in the back of a squad car, hand cuffed gettin' my head pushed down by a cop. You think i'm playin'.

A fed woman is a happy woman.

With that said, how was your weekend?
