1. I'm waiting for those to be installed

in libraries. Or funeral homes. You know, anywhere that they are appropriate.

2. Remind me to avoid any movie theatres that install jungle gyms.

4. I'll be avoiding those.

5. Why not remove the screen and put the jungle gyms in the front?

Then it's just like visiting the monkey exhibit at the zoo--with buttercorn!

6. I'm going to guess the ladders are not part of it.

My kids couldn't resist ladders when they were toddlers; the more dangerous the better. My mom says I was just like that. When I was three years old she once caught me on the roof of our house, so I guess I deserved every moment of parental terror when it was my turn to have kids.

It was just as bad as when they were teens and discovered rock climbing and trespassing onto the roofs of buildings.

Not that I was any different.

7. I don't think you people understand.

This is so people with little kids can go watch movies.

This ain't for you.

8. I get it.

Drop our grandkids off at this theater, go to theater without gym to watch our movie!

[Iggo]

9. Not quite. You don't drop your kids off there and bail.

This is the theater that you go to WITH your little kids.

People without loud little kids are discouraged from seeing movies in this theater.

There are other theaters for them.

This theater is for families with small children.

10. Aww, mannn. Spoilsport!!!

14. Which is great til they watch the movie and not the kids

And injuries occur (in the dim room...I'm assuming they won't leave overhead bright lights on..kinda takes away from the movie viewing) amongst the kids and the parents sue the theater.
Frankly, if my kids were young enough for that kind of gym, I'd be watching THEM more than the movie just to make sure nothing was going on between them and the other kids or that they were not about to do something to get themselves injured.
From what I read earlier about it all, each ticket is like 3 or 5 dollars extra than a regular theater. Better off to find/pay a sitter for 2-2.5 hrs and actually enjoy the movie!

11. So the kids are playing in the dark?

That can't be safe.

12. This is clearly the result of deforestation. nt
