Real-Life Scenario
Grandma Gloria loves the movies. When she picks up her 10-year-old grandson, Aiden, from school, they walk by the Movie Time Theater to plan their next movie outing.
“I want to see a scary movie, Grandma,” said Aiden.
“Me, too,” said Grandma, “but let’s pick an early showing so I won’t have nightmares!”
Outside the theater, Grandma Gloria and Aiden run into the Whitney family, who live across the hall from Grandma. The Whitney are planning their own movie outing.
“The Mars 3-D movie got interesting reviews,” says 14-year-old Nelessa Whitney.
“I might want to see something else,” says Mr. Whitney.
