Funny story without alcohol

My grandma and I are fairly close because I lived with her after I finished grad school and was looking for a job. She's my dad's mom and my dad is an only child, so my brothers and I are her only grandkids. My grandpa died 6 years ago, but last fall my grandma met a man named Walter (who is nothing like my grandpa was) and they got married a year ago.

Grandma and Walter came down last fall on their way somewhere else and stopped for dinner and to go see a movie. Well, first I was embarassed at dinner because you know how old people are sometimes mean to servers and think $2 is a good tip for a $25 bill? Well, that's how Walter is. So we made it through dinner and decided to go to the movies. Grandma asked what I wanted to see and I choose March of the Penguins because it was either that or a rated R movie. When we got there, Grandma mentioned that she heard the 40 Year Old Virgin was good and it was showing at the theatre. Of course, Walter can't hear very well so he's never really in the conversation, he just pops in every so often with something really random. So we ended up buying tickets for the penguin movie and while we were going to get our seats, Walter goes "I thought we were seeing the 40 year old virgin movie." I just wanted to cooperate so I said if they wanted to see it that would be fine.

Well, we found seats in that movie and watched it for about 5 minutes when they both started complaining about how filthy the movie was. I was ready to get out of there because it was embarassing watching that with my grandma. We went over to the penguin movie and watched it and it was really a cute movie. I thought I was done with my obligation to hang out with them and they would take me home. NOPE. Walter goes "I wonder if that other movie got any better." (meaning the 40 year old virgin). So we go back in and sit in our same seats and it's the same scenario as before. The main character is trying to put a condom on and goes through like 20 of them. Not something you'd wanna see with your grandma. We ended up leaving that movie for the 2nd time and Walter went to use the restroom. Grandma told me that sometimes if they don't like a movie they just keep going to a different theatre until they find something they like, sometimes 4-5 movies. I didn't know you could do that!!!!

Walter comes out of the restroom and I see him opening the door to every theatre saying "I wonder if this movie is any good." Finally we left and I thought I would arrive safely home. NOPE. The light to turn left on Hwy 54 wouldn't turn red because Walter didn't pull far enough up to the line, so after about a minute, he just ran the red light and pulled out! Luckily there were no cars but whew! I arrived home safely and promptly called my dad to share the events of the evening with him.

That's the funniest non-alcohol related story that's happened to me in the past year or so. Only one more day between me and the weekend!
