The Rebel History of Girls' Sleepovers
<p>A few years ago, my teenage daughter returned from a sleepover, announcing she would "never sleep again." Her friends had shared hyperbolic urban legends until the morning hours. For days, she was afraid someone would steal her kidney while she slept. I was wary of ever allowing her to attend a sleepover again.</p>
<p>I am not alone. The sleepover monsters under the bed today are much hairier than a hundred years ago. Before agreeing to a sleepover, parents must question the host about firearm security, vaccination status, food allergies, access to online pornography, etc. There's so much worry that the hashtag #nosleepovers has gone viral.</p>
