One of my earliest memories. My parents used to go to the drive-in with us in the back of the station wagon. They would lay out blankets and pillows in the back with some snacks and expect us to "sleep" as they watched the movies up front. Back in those days, they showed two movies with a bunch of commercials in between to buy popcorn and soda at the snack stand. Usually the first movie was a "family friendly" movie for the kids and the later movie was an adult movie - presuming the kids in the back seat were now sleeping.

Anyway, I remember this was the "second" movie and my parents kept trying to get me to sleep but I insisted on staying up for the whole thing because everybody in the cars around us were laughing their heads off. I was still a bit too young to get all the jokes.

Back around 1953 my Brothers and I would sneak into the “Isle of View” drive in theater through a hole in the fence. We would turn on a speaker in the last row.

The only problem was there were ants. I suspect they knew we were sneaking in but didn’t really care.
