I took my daughter to see the new One Direction movie, This is Us. In case you don't know who One Direction is, they are a boy band from the UK. A very popular one!
As we walked in the theater, there were giddy tween and teen girls everywhere. I knew this was going to be quite an experience. We found a seat and waited for the show to begin. When it did, the theater erupted in high-pitched shrieks.
I covered my ears and looked at my daughter. "It's just a movie," I said. "What's the big deal, here?"
"But it's One Direction!" she answered.
Okay.
The movie pretty much covered their entire world tour and gave snippets of their shows. After each song, the teen girls in the theater went nuts. It was like they were actually at a live concert.
Now don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the crazy atmosphere in the theater. But somebody should've warned me that I should've brought earplugs! A hundred screaming girls in a theater is definitely not good for one's ears!
Doesn't she look thrilled? Too bad the boys aren't real!
Mommy-daughter experience.That's so sweet. I hope you had a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteWe certainly did!
DeleteI bet that was a crazy evening! One Direction are so popular. Looks like your daugher had a fabulous time.
ReplyDeleteIt's unbelievable how popular they are!
DeleteI don't know what to say! Its was an amazing post! Your daughter had a great time I am sure!
ReplyDeleteYes, she did!
DeleteThere's a new boy band for each generation - as it should be.
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of fun to watch the boy bands sprout up.
DeleteAlthough I hate to admit it after her recent stint in the news, I took my daughter a few years ago to see Hannah Montana and she was opened by the Jonas Brothers and I wore ear plugs--ones that glowed in the dark!
ReplyDeleteCool! I want ear plugs that glow in the dark!
DeleteI hope you both had fun, even though it was a noisy experience!
ReplyDeletehaha one place I'd want to stay far away from
ReplyDeleteYes, the ears weren't exactly thrilled to be there!
DeleteEarplugs are most definitely a necessity whenever around fangirls! ;)
ReplyDeleteIt unbelievable how high-pitched their shrieks can get!
DeleteOMG! My daughter is completely gaga over one of the boys! Huge posters on all the walls, and inside the wardrobe doors-you get the picture!
ReplyDeleteCan't blame her. They are kind of cute!
DeleteMy daughter feels the same way about those boys. You are good and brave-
ReplyDeleteOr crazy! ;0)
DeleteI'd probably take an elephant sedative if I was to take anybody to see the film of that horrid boyband :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha! You'd be sleeping 'til next year!
DeleteSure it was quite the experience
ReplyDeleteYes, it was!
DeleteLOL. I'm reminded of the Beattles--how they once performed where the screams were so loud they couldn't even hear themselves play. I'm sorry for your poor ears.
ReplyDeleteIt's truly amazing how much noise those girls can make!
DeleteI remember when Grease came out and young girls screamed every time John Travolta opened his mouth or busted a move.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
I think girls will be the same no matter what the generation.
DeleteI never felt that way about anyone as a teenager. But I remember screaming in adoration the first time The Beatles were on Ed Sullivan. I think I was five years old.
DeleteLove,
Janie
I bet you were the most adorable five-year-old ever, screaming for the Beatles!
DeleteI do wonder how many time those cardboard boys have been kissed!
ReplyDeleteHaha! I should've taken a closer look to see if there were any lip gloss prints on them!
DeleteGreat post, a mother daughter experience, those are a thing of the past for me so enjoy them while you can.
ReplyDeleteYes! I have returned decided had enough time feeling sorry for myself and that I have a life to live.
Yvonne.
I'm so glad you're back! I missed you!
DeleteWhen I was young it was the Beatles. I wasn't a squealer or a screamer--more of a gape-mouthed observer, shall we say. But there's something about young girls and singers...ahhh! ;)
