I remember not sleeping very much, either, and re-thinking the very idea of sleepovers, until they asked again, and I said yes, again, and was tired for days after! Especially like those closing lines!Tara @ A Teaching Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07195982194362559883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604430404780110710.post-63833834094579599452013-11-15T14:11:11.474-05:002013-11-15T14:11:11.474-05:00Oh, I do love this, Donna, and such truth you spea...Oh, I do love this, Donna, and such truth you speak!

It was so exciting staying up all night -- not sure about walking around in a daze the next day, though. :)jamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07859083373087448194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604430404780110710.post-65598554446316828262013-11-15T12:06:04.802-05:002013-11-15T12:06:04.802-05:00Good times!

The closest we come to this as adults and teachers is those overnight away workshops with late night get-togethers for conversation and laughter.Donna Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13738281869266957726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604430404780110710.post-16140296342179096332013-11-15T08:59:32.516-05:002013-11-15T08:59:32.516-05:00Now my grandson talks about his sleepovers and bei...Now my grandson talks about his sleepovers and being so tired on Sat. or Sun., yes, boys too have them! Although I'm not sure they talk as much as play games like on the WII. I remember on where there must have been 20 of us all piled in a basement, such fun! Love what you've done with this, Donna, the excellent rhymes all the way through! And love "billows of laughter"-just sweet!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604430404780110710.post-53555630406840274972013-11-15T01:11:04.554-05:002013-11-15T01:11:04.554-05:00Yes, "spending the night" was different....Yes, "spending the night" was different. And I remember those farther and farther apart conversations until someone didn't respond and the other drifted away soon after! If it was more than two, the activity level was higher, so the awake event lasted longer!

It was just "spending the night" when it was just one friend and a "sleepover" if it was a 2 or more, but I never got to have those. Still, what I remember best about having friends spend the night was the lying in bed awake and talking and the responses getting farther and farther apart until someone quit answering. Then both people quit answering.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.com
