An Overnight

A plan between two children
Needing parental approval

Outrageously wild ideas for the evening
Vigorous plotting and planning
Enthusiastic silly making
Resounding laughter

No one is allowed to sleep
Idyllic age of about twelve
Giggling long after bedtime
Happy to stay up long after parents retire
Thrilling to see each other at breakfast

We did not do that when I was a kid. I don't think it ever entered our minds to not be in our own beds by 8:00 pm.

We did that all the time - I think it was a girl thing.
