What happens at a lads' sleepover?
A sleepover? I think most lads stopped having those when they were about nine. Why not just call it a slumber party and we'll all sit there holding hands and drinking warm milk?
If you mean: what happens when our mates stay at our gaff? Well, then there are two scenarios. The first is when the parents are in. This involves a load of boys crammed into a bedroom, huddled around an XBox eating a serious amount of crisps. If things get really wild, someone might order a pizza. The second is when the parents are away. This is pretty much the same deal, except someone will bring cider.
If all goes to plan, someone will drink a bit too much (two bottles) and mum and dad's precious ornaments will suddenly be in danger. By the time someone starts thiking about raiding dad's drink cupboard, the son of the house will start getting concerned. For everyone else, it will be brilliant.
No one will actually sleep in the 'sleepover', because sleeping will be deemed wimpy. Not only that, but the first person who does nod off will be in grave peril. If he's lucky, someone will draw a willy on his head. If he's unlucky, one of his eyebrows will be shaved off and he'll have coleslaw poured down his boxers.
Not until the next day will some serious questions be posed: who's going to clean up the mess, where is the cat and where can you buy a tub of coleslaw on a Sunday afternoon?
Please remember: Kev is not an expert, he is just a boy and sometimes quite a silly boy. The main thing to remember when it comes to lads and relationships is to expect respect as the absolute minimum. Find out more about a Women's Aid campaign of the same name.
