Check this out. So Alyssa’s birthday is next week. She wants to do cosmic bowling with her friends, come home, play DDR, order pizza, watch movies.  She wants to have a sleepover with Jazz, Lorraina, Faith, Cameron and Mark.  She says when we tell her it’s time that the girls will go to bed upstairs and the boys will stay downstairs.  Sh’yeah, like that would ever happen!

Of course she’s playing all doe-eyed…”why isn’t that ok?” and of course all of the parents except for Jazz’s would be ok with it.  Never mind that nobody’s even asked their parents.

Then she asked what I’d do if I’d had twins, one boy, one girl. I said I didn’t have twins, so I’m not going to worry about it.

An acquaintance has a son the same age who was trying that with the dad.  In a nutshell, he and his guy friend(s) were going to sleep over at this girl’s house. I think it was a party too.  The dad told him to take that idea to his youth pastors and report back.  The son didn’t of course, but came back with the plan that the guys would sleep in the girl’s front yard and said he’d cleared it with the girl’s dad.  Dad shot that one down too.
