Angelica scampers to her room and emerges on her wooden doggie. She truly loves that toy and Bette and Tina laugh as she makes barking noises and adventures for she and doggie to get into. Bette washes the dishes while Tina selects a film. The show is at 9:15 late enough that Angelica should already be asleep for Michelle. Tina gives Angelica her bath and the family meets in the master bedroom. Tina cuddles Angelica while Bette reads her a story. Once asleep the mothers put the baby in the crib and get ready to head our for their movie date. Michelle come at about 8:30 and they head out. They have a short taxi ride to the theater, grab their tickets and get a big tub of popcorn and a large drink to share.

Tina: This is actually the first time I’ve come to movie in New York.

Bette: Well there are so many entertainment choices sometimes its hard to just settle on a movie.

Tina: Hey don’t dis the movie business.

Bette: I’m not, but until tonight we never even discussed a movie date or outing.

Tina: Well in a few years we’ll be bringing Angelica to see all the kiddie flicks.

Bette: I’m looking forward to those days.

Tina: Yea, me too, but not the days where we have to tell her she can’t see certain movies due to content or language.

Bette: Well, that’s part of our job as parents. We set the limits and tell her why.

Tina: Yea, and I’m glad we will be doing that job together.

Bette: Me too.

The previews run and they see another movie they may want to see when it is released. They both enjoyed the feature film and had a spirited discussion on the way home in the taxi.

Bette: Are we headed right up or are we grabbing dessert first?

Tina: Hmm, pie sounds really good tonight.

Bette: We’re both going to workout tomorrow.

Tina: Let’s get a slice to go, your choose the flavor.

Bette chooses lemon meringue and they head home with their treasure. After Michelle is gone they check on the baby and grab a seat on the couch to enjoy the pie.

Tina: Do you want coffee?
