Concession

We were walking out of the movie theater with the entire family after watching "UP".

FIL saw the word Concessions written in large lettering on one side and said "looks like something is being given as a concession. should we check it out?"

we all looked at him for a second and said "Here concession doesn't mean discounted. It is the name for popcorn and sodas"

He was puzzled, to say the least.

Why would you call popcorn and sodas concessions? Is it because it is subsidized?

and we all said "it is sold at three times the normal price. it is anything but subsidized!"

Could not find the origin of how movie theater stalls got to be called Concessions..

If you know, please point us to a link..

ps. What a movie! Fantastic sums it up.

Going Places

The little one has been following in her sisters footsteps, not that she has much of a choice in who she is following!

That said, Jr. is following in her mommys footsteps.

It is a common scene in our house where Jr. has the little one's diaper bag and the little one has Jr.'s backpack.

While we were all thinking that the little one is packing up to go to school, she let us in on her secret. Apparently she is going to the "movie theater" with you know who! The "guys" of course!

If this is a sneak peek of things to come, we have been warned!
