At the Drive-In

In the afternoons, when the theater parking lot was empty, the kids turned the volume up on all the speakers so they could hear the sound later that night. Unfortunately, the theater workers came in and usually turned them down. Though they couldn't usually couldn't hear the movie', mom says.' "There was no internet then; we had to do something."
