I was 11 years old when my school friend Nick Anderson and I decided to watch a grown up film.0:07
It was a new film and people talked a lot about it.0:13
But it was not a film for children under 14.0:17
Nick and I decided that we would try to look older.0:20
On Saturday afternoon I put on my elder sister's jacket, a bright yellow T shirt and a purple tie.0:25
I thought such clothes would help me to look like a grown up, especially the purple tie.0:33
Nick was waiting for me at the cinema house.0:39
His clothes were the same as usual and he was really surprised to see mine.0:42
In these clothes you look like a girl, he said.0:47
I don't look like a girl, I replied.0:50
I look like a grown up.0:53
But Nick was not so sure of it.0:55
So he went to the ticket office to buy tickets himself.0:58
He asked for two tickets in a very low voice that didn't sound like Nick's.1:01
They won't let us in, I thought.1:07
It is clear that we are both younger than 14.1:09
But to my surprise, Nick left the ticket office with two tickets in his hand.1:13
Lets go and find our seats, he said.1:19
They are in row seven.1:21
The show began and the people around us seemed to enjoy it.1:23
It was a comedy and the audience laughed a lot.1:27
But when I came home and my sister asked me what was good about the film, I couldn't answer her question.1:33
There had been a lot of jokes in the film and I had laughed at them, but I had not understood them at all.1:40
