There were two women in the rows ahead of Omaha and I, and they had brought, between them, four children: a boy and three girls, seven years old through ten years old.
The women were wearing the unpatterned dark-brown hijab of sub-Saharan Islamic cultures, and both their accents and command of the language led me to conclude they were probably Sudanese immigrants-- Seattle's had quite a few of those recently. For all the supposed "immigrants are more pro-family than locals" memage, those two women were clearly either badly misinformed about what kind of movie they were taking their kids to (it was a late night showing, too!), or their sense of what's appropriate for their kids is way different from mine.
Probably a little bit of both.
