They all showed up a bundled mess of sleeping bags, birthday gifts, and suitcases. For most of them this was their first slumber party. They shrieked and giggled all the way up the stairs where purses filled with fingernail polish and glittery make-up were emptied and the contents applied with clumsy hands.
The house filled quickly with bubbly little girl speak of boys and prettiness. They painted little boxes to store jewel covered treasures in and made pizza covered in pineapple. She had found a vintage looking tea set that she just knew her friends would think looked pretty on the cake. They did. Before she blew out the candles she wished long and thoughtful. Then they popped popcorn and watched Hannah Montana and danced.
It was a little after midnight when I heard the last giggles. Five girls all thinking they are grown up, laid side by side with teddy bears and blankets looking very much like the little girls their parents know they still are. They woke up groggy-eyed and giggling, ready for blueberry muffins and a little more dancing.
