Taken

Tonight Aaron and I went to see the movie "Marley and Me" but after we got our seats I decided I should use the bathroom before the movie began. I left Aaron alone and when I returned I found that he was alone no longer. A girl was sitting right next to him. There were probably 3 or 4 empty seats on the row, and plenty of room in the rest of the theater, but she chose to sit right next to my husband. I squeezed by her and sat on the other side of him, wondering why she would sit next to him but figured she had some friends coming. Aaron was thinking the same thing. We kept waiting for her friends to show up. Maybe they were running late because the popcorn was all gone and they had to wait for some more to be popped? (true story, we didn't get popcorn because it was a long wait)

But no, her friends never showed up.

I guess she just thought my husband was hot and thought he was alone.

Wrong, he's taken.

That's hilarious Em. And so random! I would have shot her dirty looks the whole time! The nerve!
But aren't you proud of your husband's looks? Are you thinking, "He's still got it!"

Laurie, the girls and Scott said...

That is so funny! I guess she thought it would be a great movie to pick up a kind and sensitive man. Did she talk to him? I'm laughing!

Lauren said...

Wow, she's got some guts. I don't think I would sit right next to some random guy if I were alone (and single). I wondering if she said anything to him, too. Details...

Lauren said...

I was thinking maybe she got stood up by her friends (but I doubt it). Adam does that to me sometimes in Sunday School where I go in and save him a seat with my purse and he never shows up because of Elders Quorum stuff. Then I look like the crazy person not wanting people to sit next to me.

(You had to go the bathroom because your pregnant, right? haha. I told you.)

Aaron says that she had only been there for literally one or two minutes before I got back. I guess she didn't have time to work up her nerve before I returned. The funny thing is she wasn't texting or anything the whole movie and she stayed the whole time. She never said a word. Hilarious!

Brittany said...

That is hilarious! It should make you feel good that you have a hot husband though! I hope you gave her some dirty looks.

That is so funny! Good thing you know that you can trust your husband. How was the movie?

Emily and Aaron Carter said...

Btw, just so there's no confusion from Lauren's comment, I'm not pregnant.
And, the movie was really good. If you haven't heard, it's a tear jerker, but if you going in being prepared for that you might me able to handle it.

Lauren said...

You can trust Aaron for one to two minutes. He passed the first test. It would have been funny if you didn't come and sit right next to him just to see if this girl would have done anything.

Oh, and Em is pregnant, she's just not telling people yet. Let's see if we can start a rumor.

(I'm just kidding, by the way)

Mel said...

That's so weird! Why would you do that, how funny. And awkward.

Anonymous said...

Ha! Hilarious.

Bradley said...

haha. aaron has been hitting the gym.

Dang it! I really wanted you to be pregnant. That is a really funny story though Em. I like random blogs like this one. It makes me feel like I was there. My parents saw Marley and Me and loved it too. I know I'll cry just because my mom insists I go...that is a clue right there.

Mandy said...

I love it! That is so funny! Aaron should be flattered.

The Fishers said...

The poor girl probably thought she scored BIG time when she saw a hot, single guy at the movie by himself and was hoping to turn it into a date. That is too funny.
Congratulations on the pregnancy by the way. Is that the reason you still haven't come to Pilates?

Mindy said...

Thats really funny. I'm really excited for you guys to come visit!! It's one of the major things I'm looking forward to right now.

Mindy said...

P.S. Look at all your comments!!

Mel said...

Em, have I told you lately that I think your hair looks so pretty?

I'm happy for all you guys that get to hang out in Utah. That will be really fun. I wish I could go!

Lauren said...

I'm happy and satisfied I got people to think you're pregnant. I hope you're not mad.

Chelle said...

Oh Emily! That was too funny, or not funny at all. So she really just sat there the whole time?
