The Boy had his first sleepover last night. That meant that my house consisted of the following exchange:
[me, 9:00PM] Okay guys, time for bed!
[The Boy & Guest] Aw, can't we stay up another 5 minutes?
[me] No, guys, we've got a busy day tomorrow. You've got to be up early for church, and Guest's mother will be here at 8:30 tomorrow morning.
[The Boy & Guest] Awwww, do we hafta go to bed?
[me] Yes!
...
[thud][thud][thud][thud]Giggle, giggle[thud][thud][thud][thud]
[me, 9:15PM] Uh, guys, I thought I said it was time for bed?
[The Boy & Guest] Aw, can't we stay up another 5 minutes?
[me] No. Go to bed. Now.
...
[The Boy & Guest] (they fight for 10 minutes over whether one nightlight should be on or two)
[thud][thud][thud][thud]Giggle, giggle[thud][thud][thud][thud]
...
[Guest] The Boy took my covers!
[me, 9:25PM] The Boy, why did you take Guest's covers?
[The Boy, thinking] Uh, because it would let us stay up another 15 minutes?
[The Boy, speaking] I dunno!
[me] GO TO BED!
...
[thud][thud][thud][thud]Giggle, giggle[thud][thud][thud][thud]
[me, 9:45PM] GO TO BED!
...
[me, 10:00PM] I think they're asleep...
[thud][thud][thud][thud]Giggle, giggle[thud][thud][thud][thud]
[me, 10:05PM] Yup, they're asleep...
That is all.

That's how I remember them working when I was that age. Needless to say I think I can count my elementary sleepovers on one hand.
