I just remembered...

When I went to see Wolverine, I stopped by the bathroom on the way out. Safely hidden away in a stall, I didn't see the girls when they came in, but I sure heard them.

"This is the best idea EVER," one declared and they both cackled. Then one yelped:

"Oh no! My drink spilled in my purse!" They both laughed again. "Now it's gonna smell funny in there...."

"You realize the downside of this?" the other said. "By the time the movie's over, we're gonna be sober again."

Now see, I had thought they were partaking of the time-honored frugality of sneaking your own drinks into the theater. I hadn't realized what kind of drinks. Maybe it was a good idea, but not when you're minors and are howling about it in the bathroom. Booze rarely results in subtlety.

"Not a problem," said the one with the soggy purse. "We can go back to my place and get wasted."

"Just in time for graduation!" they whooped in unison. I heard a high-five noise, and they headed out, still giggling.

In my day, we wore baggy clothes and filled our pockets with the .35 Sam's colas from the Walmart pop machines. Those were simpler times.

I once helped my friend sneak alcohol into a dance club. I don't know why I helped her as I didn't really like to drink.

But they should have at least kept quiet about it.

The part that made it so funny was how loud and pleased they were with themselves over it. Like no one had ever been so clever before. I have been to the movies when somebody brought a thermos of pina colada (one of the PotC movies) and passed it around, but I don't like colada's enough to drink after 12 people.
