First things first, how do we distract the kids?
We could put them with math books, pull out all the arts and crafts, or force them to write a play.
We put on SpongeBob.
Finally alone in our room, we both wonder what to do next.
Get interrupted by a child informing us they've already seen that episode of SpongeBob. We wonder, they've watched ALL the episodes of SpongeBob over and over again, why now?
Get out the big guns.
Rent a brand new movie on Apple TV, something that is a minimum of 2 hours. Make sure it is full of shoot em up, robots, zombies and cute girls. Pay 14.99 for two hours of freedom.
Go back in the bedroom, look at each other.
And laugh.
Think about putting some Vaseline on the bedroom door knob to keep the kids out.
End up back in the living room because a child has again walked into the bedroom informing us that since it is a new movie, popcorn is indeed necessary.
Go make popcorn for the masses, enough to last two hours.
Back in the bedroom, try and figure out how other people do it. Where to put the phone and stuff.
Laugh again.
Back in the living room because SOMEONE is grabbing handfuls of Popcorn from his brother.
Have a long discussion with the kids about the benefits of sharing, (teachable moment) then dumping half the popcorn from one bowl into the brother's bowl who was losing popcorn.
Go back in the bedroom. Look at how gravity and age has made certain parts of your body move into places you never thought they'd go. Look at each other.
Laugh again.
With another knock on the door, decide it was probably better to make a cooking demonstration as your Adult Movie.
Go out, grab a bowl of popcorn and enjoy the movie.
