A weekly-ish blog sharing my series of collages about growing up in the South during the 1950s.

SLUMBER PARTIES
Slumber parties were most popular during fourth through eighth grades. Girls spent the evening calling boys, sharing hilarious comments with them and quickly hanging up. Fortunately, caller ID did not exist.
"Slumber parties" were mostly shared with the girls mentioned in this collage. My family moved several times, and these girls lived in three different towns.
Good grief, what kind of freakish upbringing did I have? I can remember spending the night at a girlfriend's house, but I don't think I ever went to a slumber party. So That's what's been wrong with me all my life!
Interesting - I thought slumber parties were universal and timeless. After a night filled with food, laughter and NO sleep, Mother thought I was cranky the next day.
