Grandma/grandkid dates

It was Tyler and Ella's turn for the grandma/grand kid night outs. Tyler went on a date with Grandma to go and see the new Karate Kid movie. He said the best part of the movie was the fighting. But when I started fighting and hitting him, he cried so I think he may actually be lying about that part. My mom had to go into the snack line to buy the tickets. How weird is that? When it was their turn to buy the tickets the guy said "I don't think its your turn you need to get to the back of the line." So they had to go to the back because he wouldn't help them. Tyler paid for some popcorn and when my mom got to the front(3 mins. before the movie started) she paid and he told her it was free popcorn night. Lucky for her the guy gave her a refund after charging Tyler for the popcorn in the first place. Tyler had a great time at the movie with Grandma. Ella for her second Grandma/Grand kid date took the next door neighbor to the park (cuz what kid likes to go to the park to play by themselves) and to get ice cream. The girls played and played. They would eat some ice cream, set it down and play some more. They spun around on the tire swing, slide on the slide, and just worn themselves right out. When we went to leave I told Ella to say thank you to her friend for coming (I was trying to get a thank you from the little girl) and of course Ella did. But the girl got out of the car and started walking away without even acknowledging Ella. So I said I don't think she heard you say thank you again. This time the little girl said "I heard her." and walked away. Ella came home from the park dirty and exhausted. That sounds like my idea of a perfect date!
