The Batman.

Love is buying four overpriced tickets to Batman Live! because your 4 year old is obsessed with superheros.
<BR>
<BR>
Love is taking your family to this show, despite your wariness of large crowds, stadium seating, and weird 20-somethings dressed as Batman.
<BR>
<BR>
Love is leaving your seats with your 4 year old, five seconds into the show when he decides it's too scary.
<BR>
Love is sitting with your 4 year old in the hallway, while the first half of the show is entertaining 99% of London's male population, aged 8 and under (and those weird 20-somethings).
<BR>
Love is trying not to think about the overpriced ticket.
<BR>
Love is trying not to force your 4 year old back into the theater.
<BR>
Love is not barking at every, single O2 Customer Support Agent who is helpfully trying to get your scared 4 year old back in the theater, and not just letting him watch the shagging show through the glass door panes.
<BR>
Love is trading in your driver's license for Florescent-Yellow-Airline-Ramp-Agent-Noise-Cancelling-style headphones in the hope that they might be able to help him cope with the deafening Bat Noise.
<BR>
Love is not being too ashamed at passionately venting your frustrations with the situation at your husband and your very close friends at Intermission.
<BR>
<BR>
Love is coercing your 4 year old into in his theater seat with a lollipop, during Intermission and 'forgetting' that the show will start in 3 minutes.
<BR>
<BR>
Love is pretending not to hear your 4 year old insistently telling you that the show is about to re-start and that he wants to go back in the hallway.
<BR>
Love is sitting there while the show re-starts.
<BR>
Love is watching over your 4 year old every other second to recognize that he's not really scared.
<BR>
Love is watching over your 4 year old every other second to recognize that he's actually enjoying it.
<BR>
Love is just smiling and nodding when, upon exiting the theater, he says how much he loved it.
<BR>
Love is just smiling and nodding when he says he wasn't really scared.
<BR>
<BR>
Love is just smiling and nodding when he wants to read Batman for his bedtime story.
<BR>
Love ends when he says he's now part of The Joker's team.
