Sistahood Sleepovah--The Rules

NKOTB Sistahood Slumbah Pahty-The Rules

Current mood:bouncy

So you may or may not have heard by now that my Sistahs and I are having a Blockhead Sistahood Slumbah Pahty next Saturday night. After agreeing to let us host it at our house, B decided that there should be some ground rules. I encouraged him to put it in writing. Less than 2 minutes later, the following conversation ensued by email. Keep in mind I’m reading all of this while sitting at my desk at work, trying to actually be productive. The laughing so hard I was crying and nearly spitting orange soda all over my keyboard didn’t help…



Sleepover - The Husband Rules

I will be staying upstairs in the "game room" as much as possible, with occasional trips to the master bathroom.

I will not participate in any activities or silliness.

I will be available before but not during the sleepover to assist with any technical issues, such as setting up the dvd player.

In the unlikely event that I need to come downstairs for something, there shall be no eye contact with, nor comment made to or about me. Ignore me completely.

There shall be no shouting to or about me from downstairs. If you need something from me, come upstairs and knock on the door.

There shall be a curfew agreed upon by all parties. After the curfew there shall be no loud or tumultuous behavior.


I forwarded B’s terms on to the girls. ..Erin.. felt the need to send the following rebuttal:



Sleepover-The Participant Rules

We will be talking, laughing, dancing, and singing…maybe loudly at some points.

There will no discussion, mocking, making fun of anyone singing off key or dancing like a ridiculous fool!

There will be no shouting to or about us from upstairs about us being “annoying” or to “be quiet”. No stomping on the floor from above will be tolerated either.

There will be no making fun of any members of New Kids on the Block! No mockery of their success, fame, and fortune! They will not be referred to as a “boyband” and there will not be any talk of what kinds of “fans” they have.

We will be available after but not during the sleepover to explain our feelings/connections to our favorite New Kid, should any husband want to know.

Curfew, what’s that?



And of course B responded…

These rules are acceptable, except there will be a curfew beyond which there can be no loud or tumultuous activity. We can negotiate the time.



So I said…

I concur provided that the curfew includes a tuck-in service and a bedtime story



..Erin.. added…

I think the bedtime story needs to fit within the theme of the party and relate to New Kids in some way, shape, form, or fashion. The words "Happily Ever After" must be included and must refer to each of us frolicking in the sunset with 1 fave New Kid.



I needed clarification…

Wait...since I'm an equal opportunity blockhead and my favorite "Kid" is B is that like...a seven-way?! What happens if we throw Dave Harris into the mix?

In addition to "happily ever after" the phrases "tink!" "Let's get this" "zombie emu" "HITT training" and "I'm humble" must also be incorporated

Now back to the riddler pants...



Nikki chimed in with…

What about ""can I get another (insert # here)" or some variation of "today, I will soar...blah, blah, blah".



Still haven’t heard from Sara or Roxi. I think they’re contemplating mutiny personally. One thing’s for sure. At this point the terms will be under negotiation until the last person leaves the following morning.
