First Timer

For the first time last week Diana and her friend went to the movies by themselves. He mother called me at 3:20 to tell me that the movie her daughter planned to see a movie that began at 3:30. I rushed around trying to get Alex ready to leave and try to calm the mother down and ensure her that her daughter would be safe at the movie theatres.

After getting Diana and Alex settled in the car, we rushed off to pick up her friend that lived a few minutes away. Diana’s friend Julie’s older brother came outside as I pulled up to plan out how the girls would get home. I told him that I would pick them up.

With only a few minutes left to spare, the girls ran inside and paid for their tickets and waved to me as they ran into the theatre. To ensure the girl’s safety, I had Diana text me at various points of the movie to make sure that they were ok.

The girls enjoyed the movie and had a great time knowing that they were capable of viewing a movie without adult supervision.
