Last weekend I learned a few things about boy sleepovers. Christian has had many friends spend the night, but never all at once, so I have never experienced the weirdness that is a boy slumber party. And it is weird. Here are some observations and a few brief comparisons:
- Boys are not especially talkative with adults, but extremely talkative with each other. Girls will talk with anyone and everyone.
- Girls dance to music, boys performed dance numbers that they choreograph during recess.
- Boys eat continuously throughout the night and are especially interested in spraying whipped cream in each others mouths and ears. Girls don't have time to eat because of all the talking and dancing.
- Everything is a competition: food, splashes, dives, farts, smells of farts, how many swim rings you can get on your body at one time.
- Boys don't sleep. They jump around from air hockey, to food, to video games, to talking, to food, to air hockey, back to food, then it's morning and time for more food.
And then we slept.

I could have told you all of that. I have 3 nephews and a son, I don't know anything different other than the child not talking, being stinky, eating all day and night, and being weird. I hear girls are different, I can hope for a niece one day. haha
Oh boy this brought back memories! I have boy/girl twins and one year I had a sleepover for each two weekends in a row. The girls were all yacky, played dress up, & got moody with each other before passing out. The next weekend with the boys was totally different. The guys acted like, well guys! They lounged around, watched tv, ate continuously and were much more low-key than the girls. There were a few gross out contests too. Too funny!
