6 kids in we have NEVER been charged to bring an infant with us anywhere, whether it's a movie theater, a musical, an airline flight, a baseball game, a concert, a museum...ANYWHERE. Until tonight.
Tonight we took Audra for her birthday date to see @aladdin
@aladdin the show or gaining any value from the production outside of being near their mother, which should be free. I can't believe @disneybroadway - which is supposed to be for families and whose amusement parks charges us $0 to bring children under 3 years old to - would allow this
@aladdin with Bennett.
I. AM. LIVID. What world is this where now families need to shell out that kind of money in order to have their nursing infants accompany them to the theater? And what does the theater think they are selling the family? The 1 month old is clearly not watching
@aladdin The Musical on Broadway and brought Bennett with us seeing as he's only a month old and breastfeeding. Imagine our surprise when they stopped Deidre to ask for his ticket. We were running tight on time, so I took Audra to our seats. $60 later Deidre was permitted to sit with us

During the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 among the many casualties were 66 Catholic priests who served as chaplains. Father Aloysius H. Schmitt, from Iowa, served aboard the USS OKLAHOMA. Father Schmitt, 32, had just said Mass that Sunday morning when the Oklahoma was hit by at least nine Japanese torpedoes and grazed by several bombs.
A number of sailors, including Fr. Schmitt, were trapped in a compartment with only a small porthole as the means of escape. Fr. Schmitt helped a number of men through this porthole. When it came his time to leave, he declined and helped more men to escape. In total, he helped 12 men to escape.
Fr. Schmitt died on board the Oklahoma. He was the first chaplain of any faith to have died in World War II. His example inspired a number of other priests to become chaplains.
In one written account Father Schmitt whispers βGod save youβ to each man who passes by him on the way out. When the last man asks, βWhoβs going to save you?β Schmitt smiles and responds, βThe same person who is saving you.β πΊπΈ
