A Kid Kept Kicking My Seat and Throwing Popcorn in My Hair, Then My Husband Finally Did Something About It

The first piece of popcorn landed on my shoulder.

The second disappeared into my curls.

By the time another handful came sailing over the back of my seat, I knew I would be finding buttery kernels in my hair for the rest of the night.

I have thick, curly hair.

Popcorn doesn’t simply fall out of hair like mine.

It moves in permanently.

On the giant screen, Spider-Man was swinging between buildings while hundreds of people cheered.

Behind me, a nine-year-old boy was laughing at the top of his lungs.
