If you need to call your babysitter than you get up from your seat and you walk outside the theater and call! Do you think you're that important that you can talk to your babysitter in the theater and interrupt everyone else?

Mike: Either (1) don't go to movies until you get grows up, or (2) unless you're a pediatrician, give the babysitter a phone number of someone to call who actually might be useful to your baby in an emergency (unlike yourself, who would just have to call someone else, wasting time).

Another tip: have the sitter call the theater instead of your cell phone. If it's _really_ an emergency, they'll find you.

HiTEC: The point isn't for me to be able to call out, it's so that someone can reach me. And of course I wouldn't take the phone call in the middle of the theater.

Hello, I just wrote a comedic blog on myspace.com about "My Evil Dentist" and in it I lovingly remember my favorite dentist of all time: Dr. Kowitz on Hollenbeck Rd. in Sunnyvale. For the heck of it, I Googled Dr. Kowitz and saw that he was also your dentist back in the day. I just found this all to be very amusing. Peace, Dave

...also, Mike is smart enough to set his phone to vibrate rather than audibly ring when he goes into the theater, like all civilized people do.
