I was seven, and Dad promised to take to the movies. Our family was a bit broke at the time, and Dad told me we couldn't afford the trip with expense for the tickets etc. I got annoyed and stormed out of the house like a spoiled brat and lay down on the grass outside. It was just Summer. Dad came outside and we talked while laying flat on our backs looking up at the sky. It had just gone dark and the first stars were coming out. As we talked I guess that night I grew up a little bit, and just enjoyed my Dad's company.That night I also realised I loved looking at the night sky! Didn't end up going to the movie of course, but it was the best movie I ever missed! Been hooked ever sinse, and Dad got me my first telescope, a nice second hand one, which I treasure to this day. Also now realise how much overtime he would have had to work to make a boys dream come true.My boy is six, and he loves coming out with me.
