And they are having a sing song around the piano!

Is it the 1950s?!

I kind of need them to be a bit quieter but I'm so impressed with that i don't want to interrupt

OOh what are they singing?

southeastastra · 13/11/2015 22:02

oh that sounds nice, i have two teenage boys holed up in their rooms here

Sparklingbrook · 13/11/2015 22:04

Same here south. It's quiet here tonight.

southeastastra · 13/11/2015 22:12

now my older one has gone out! i think it must be nice to have girls

Sparklingbrook · 13/11/2015 22:16

I very occasionally wonder what the dynamics would have been like if either DS or both even were girls.

So used to having boys for sleepovers etc now.

Yes! Like Sparkling I need details, what are they singing?

OccamsLadyshaveToo · 13/11/2015 22:20

It's a "phan" song from dan and phil.

Apparently that sentence means something when you're 14.

They have now come upstairs for the laptop and there are words like "putlocker" and "Friday the 13th" floating up the stairs.

This is more what i expected to be dealing with tonight. Time for a noisy cup of tea!

Are they all staying over?

OccamsLadyshaveToo · 13/11/2015 22:35

Yes.

The same bunch with a few minor adjustments have been friends since reception. I keep wondering when they will grow out of sleepovers and want to go to parties instead but no sign of it yet.

Are they up yet Grin.

My only experience of girls is at mixed parties or gatherings. Around 10 is classed as a gathering I am told.

Like Sparkling I have only boys and have often wondered how different it would be. The girls always seem much louder than the boys.

At Ds's sleepovers here there are long periods of quiet interspersed with massive ROARS that make me jump. Grin
