Sleepovers
Sleepovers never really made sense to me, because there is generally no sleep involved. In fact the one kid who fell asleep was never invited back. I mean, why would you come over and sleep, because you think I want you to come snore near me?
Mostly we stayed up playing all night and tore out of the house at sun up. Off the explore the world which seemed still so sound as the adults were sleeping yet. In the moment we owned the world. It was ours and sometimes it seemed so scary like something from a horror film, but that was part of the excitement.
I wish I had the energy I had a child even now, as I could make better use of it these days.
