Movie viewing with the elderly

I really quite enjoy the more mature folks in our population. After all, I do live in retirement apartments and love it.

Lately, the elderly have been providing a whole other form of entertainment while watching movies.

Yesterday, at The Time Traveler's Wife, an elderly couple was seated 2 rows up from us. As the movie got underway, they would make statements or ask questions to each other, and not in their quiet voices, either. (I'm thinking that they both must have been hard of hearing.)

Little old lady: "They must be brother and sister." (Huh? We have no idea why she thought this. The scene did nothing to suggest that the two characters on screen were related.)

Little old lady: "A miscarriage." (And she said this loud.)

Little old man: "What the hell was that?" (He said this so audibly that even the row of people in front of us got the giggles and turned to see who had said it.)

Little old man: "Vasectomy." (The rest of the theater was quiet, so this really carried. And, of course, me and the friends kept repeating this all evening long and falling into giggling fits because of it.)

Old people amuse me.
