Son-in-law

This is my first son-in-law, Kenneth Trace Porter. There is nary a dull moment when he's around!
While we were in Utah, we decided to take Brody to the dinosaur museum. It was lot of fun and there was so much to see there. After we finished looking at all the exhibits, we decided to go to the 3-D movie about dinosaurs.

We were standing in line after Jim bought our tickets, waiting to go into the theater. Brody was getting a little restless so I decided to go to the snack bar area and buy some popcorn and drinks to take in with us to keep him occupied. While I was getting the goodies, the guy who worked at the theater opened the doors and let everyone go inside to take a seat for the movie.

After I paid for the popcorn, etc, I went to the door of the theater, which was closed by that time, and told the guy that I needed to go in. Here's the conversation....

He: "Where's your ticket?"

Me: "I don't have it. The group I was with already went in and they have my ticket."

He: "Well, you can't go in without a ticket."

Me: "I have a ticket. I just don't have it with me. My group already went in and took my ticket with them."

He: "well, I can't let you in without a ticket."

Me: "I know they are in there. If you let me go in, I can get the ticket to show to you."

He: "What's the name of the head guy in your group?"
Me: "Jim"

He: "OK, well, wait right here and I'll go see if I can find him."

Me: ....Tapping my foot as he goes into the theater, locking the door behind him as I try to juggle my purse, the popcorn, and two large drinks.

In the meantime, a group of four people come up behind me to go in. They see that the door is locked so they stand there beside me.

The theater guy comes back. The people next to me step forward and hand their tickets to him. The lady in their group says: "I believe she was here first."

He: "Yes, but she does not have a ticket."

Me: "You didn't find my group to get my ticket?"

He: "No, I couldn't find them."

ME: "YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!!!!!" ---starting to get annoyed...

He: "I can't let you in without a ticket."

Me: "If you go in with me, I can show you where they are and you can see the ticket."

He: "Well, I guess I'll let you in but you can't tell anyone or I will get in big trouble."

Me: "I can bring the ticket back to you if you want."

He: "No, just don't tell anyone. Go ahead and go in."

So he opens the door and I walk down the hallway toward the theater. As I get a few feet inside the door, I see Trace and Taralee standing in the darkness with tears running down their faces and laughing SO hard!!!

I turn around and there's the theater guy trying to apologize and saying, "these two made me do that to you." haha

I thought Trace was going to fall over laughing about this whole episode. He's lucky I didn't completely lose my cool with that kid, the theater guy. haha I really could have "lost it" at any moment if that kid hadn't opened the door for me. haha

Anyway, that's my SIL Trace. Believe me, I'll get back at him. Just wait....
