Review of Sleepover!


This is a unique piece where two reporters sleepover and monitor two groups of children having sleepovers. One is a group of girls, the other is a group of boys. My first thought was that this would be fun for my kids to hear, but then I realized, this is more for me. Not for any reason other than it's a trip down memory lane. It kickstarts old memories about sleepovers and how new it all was. The excitement of discovering and uncovering, of being cool.

The boys are full of bravado and pranks and don't seem to bond too strongly while the girls get closer as time gets older. They talk about boys. The boys watch cartoons and play video games. If you listen to this, chances are you'll remember a few faces you haven't thought about for awhile.
