Kyesha Smith Wood, striking a blow for Movie House Civility

One of the most inconvenient truths is that you CAN NOT go to a movie theater without being distracted by OTHER PEOPLE.

It's not just their cow-like gum chewing and piggy popcorn chomping. It's not just the candy unwrapping, coughing or getting up to use the bathroom five times. It's the constant wisecracking at the screen, loud talking and now, texting and phone conversations.

So it's one hell of a surprise that a post on FARCEBOOK has gone viral. THIS one:

A happy ending to "Cinderella?"

It's nice this woman didn't arrogantly think her girls had the right to have "fun" at somebody else's expense.

And, YES, the other woman did find out about the post and contacted her, and thanked her for her offer of free tickets to another movie, plus snacks.

But, for fans of pessimism, let me point out that this was SO EXCEPTIONAL, that it made the papers all over the world, and went viral all over the Internet. It's like Haley's Comet (or Cilla's Comet). An apology for bad behavior in a movie theater happens once in a lifetime.

99.9% of the time, the parent could care less. The attitude is, "It's a public movie house, ya want quiet, stay home and watch TV."

It's also rare that there are movies that are suitable for young children.

I haven't checked the Internet's gambling websites, but I think the odds are 100-1 that when this woman and her kid go to another movie, on Smith's generous offer of free tickets and snacks...they will encounter an even louder and more miserable collection of noisy, selfish assholes.
