Sleepover Debate

 Good mornin' my dear fellow kids. All of us once wanted to just go to our friend's house, watch movies, eat popcorn, talk about stuff grown-ups won't ever understand and sleepover for the night. But some parental tyrants would rather let us revel in our misery of keeping those dreams locked up in an ultra-deluxe safe with twenty passwords, fifty different keys with fifty different locks and face and thumb recognition. 

Parents are protective, nothing we can do about it. That was our statement until now. Now that's gonna change. Here I present to you- The Sleepover Debate!

Disclaimer- Some might be offended by the following script which involves metaphors and a slight pinch of mockery. So the people who might knock my door down cos they might not like this blog please refrain from reading. But for reassurance, no cuss is involved. 😉😄🤪

Point I- Over Exaggerated Claims

'Oh Betty darling, you might get kidnapped right under their parents' noses and be held for ransom for your secret fortune that you happen to have because you turned out to be the heir to the throne of England!'

Seriously? I get it, abduction is something very scary to everyone. But think about this. You send your children to one large establishment declaring themselves to be a so-called school and have no sight of your kid and no idea whether they are okay or not for six whole hours every day. And has it never approached your mind that children could get kidnapped there? You never fretted that your child might get trampled by a sea of monkeys but you are on your end when your child is staying at a friend's house where their parents will keep an eye on them so they don't go missing.

Point II- Parent rivalry

Unless you are a member of a secret organisation, mafia or you are just stinkin' rich you have no need to worry that the other child's parents will call your worst enemies and ship them off to a private island, never to be seen again.

I don't see that happening. Most parent arguments I know and have actually witnessed are more about how you maintain your yard and child than the fact they are ninjas belonging to a great scary gang called The Wolf Skulls (though that kind of parent does sound exciting) which I am sure is not the case with my folks. 'Cos my neighbourhood is one of the most boring I have ever been to. Nothing interesting ever happens here. But I love it all the same.

Point III- Child Delicacy

Many parents worry about how their child will adapt to such harsh environments like a friend's house. Listen, Parents, children are not porcelain dolls that will break the moment they tumble over. Some children may be physically weak but I'm sure that most children will not break their arms, legs and necks after a single sleepover.

And what are parents for? I'm pretty sure most parents will be looking over their youngin's (to the child's most annoyance) and making sure they don't do anything rash and/or stupid.

That's it for my Sleepover Debate. I hope it'll be useful to all children who have extremely overprotective parents. And if you have any, please add more points in the comments for the debate I'll have with my Aunt Raji soon. I need all the help I can get.
