Eddie,
I did that too when I was a little kid, but at the drive in movies. When my Dad was still alive we used to go to the drive in movies a couple of times a month. They always showed at least two movies, sometimes three, and the “adult” movies were shown last, when the kinder were supposed be a sleep in the backseat. I would stay awake for the duration, and be quiet as a church mouse, I didn’t want to miss a moment, or get caught watching! I watched “Giant”, “Niagara”, “River Of No Return”, “The Apartment”, “Mogambo”, this way to name a few.
Then, as soon as the car would start for the trip home after the last movie, I would fall asleep for the trip home. My Dad would carry all three of us kids into the house and put us to bed.
