I (40m) took my mom (70f) to see her favourite movie of all time…The experience didn’t end well

A movie theater in my neighbourhood re releases classic movies once in awhile. This week was the movie E.T. It my mother's 70th birthday. I bought her two tickets to watch the movie. (the version with the guns and not walky talky)

The movie goes on and we are both enjoying it! When the flowers begin to die E.T. is dying Eliot is screaming "He came to me! He came to me!" I am crying my eyes out. Snoty nose, can't catch my breath and tears the works. Just when I thought I gained control of my emotions, the ending happens ET says... "I'll be right here" and I start another round of hard snotty crying. I was crying so hard someone two rows behind us says "Yo is that foo still crying?!?" The credits roll, the lights come on and I notice I just filled up both cup holders with my snotty Kleenex's and napkins! I pick up my trash ready to leave. My mom leans into me. I thought she was going whisper "thank you" into my ear. Instead my mom whispers into my ear. "Don't invite me to the movies again"... And I never did The End
