Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the BE ninety three Morning show. I'm Ali Max
and I'm Mike. So I have three kids, big SI, Yeah,
I have three kids. Oh this is ten or excuse me, no,
she just turned to eleven.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Her name is Cecily, my first, my only daughter, and
I'm practacing all.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
That for a reason.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
She wants to go on sleepovers. She wants to go
to friends. She wants friends to stay with.

Speaker 4 (00:24):
Us hot topic these days.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
I think we might have even talked about it a
few months ago, but I have been anti them for
right now. I would do laid overs where you could
stay really late and then bedtime just come over. I
just over, yeah, and then bedtime you just come home.
And I don't know why, because you had you didn't
sleepovers as a.

Speaker 4 (00:43):
Kid, right, Oh my gosh, all the time.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
Same, same.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Some of my greatest memories are sleepovers. And I never
my parents never thought twice about it. They always like
check to make sure I was actually staying there. But
outside of that, there was never any like, like huge concerns.
And I don't know why. I don't have a reason
for this, but I've always just been hesitant about doing it.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Yeah, she's she'll stay at.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Like Grandma's and she'll you know, she could stay at
a cousin's house and I'd be okay with that, But
like friends, I've just been very I don't know that
I want to do it.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
I don't know that we need to do it.

Speaker 4 (01:17):
And the more my wife has been talking to me
totally valid concern.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yeah, the more my wife has been talking to me
and been like, these are some of our greatest memories.
You learn so much by staying the night with friends
and staying at their house. There's just been a lot
of talk. And so my daughter asked me for this weekend,
We're going to Canadian Lakes. She said, Hey, my friend
wants to stay the night and go camping with us.

(01:40):
And I went, oh, my gosh, this is the way
we do it. This is how we do it. If
I want to teach her what to expect during a sleepover,
and I want to to show her what the dos
and don'ts and what to what to be aware of.
And know that you have your watch on you so
if you need that at any moment, any time of
the day, you can call me. Because that's the things

(02:01):
I kept thinking about, was like we had house phones. Yeah,
like there was so hard to like get to a phone,
and we still were okay with it. Now she has
a phone on her watch, like she could call me
at any time anyways. So I've talked myself through it
and I said to let's do Let's let's go ahead
and take her camping this weekend. Let's bring her out.
That'll be her first experience with sleep I know.

Speaker 4 (02:24):
You're diving into the deep end on this one.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
It's a long weekend.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
We had to have like several sleepovers locally before. We
talked about like doing troops with friends.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Yeah, Luckily Canadian Lakes is only about an hour so
if we have to, we can meet halfway.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
And if there's if there's an issue, I've looked up Allie.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
When I tell you and if you have suggestions or
maybe you have a good sleepover story, I would love
to hear it, even the bad ones though, because I
wanted I like to hear the bad ones too, or
the funny ones. Yeah, because I like to know what
to look out for, know that I'm not the only
one that experienced that, so that when I come back Monday,
it go.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
It was a it was a mess. I feel a
little bit better about it.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Sleepovers can be amazing, but they can also you know,
kind of take a left turn, and I remember them
being both. But you know what, I learned a lot
from them. Okay, this is kind of funny, but what
I remember being tough about sleepovers is I would always

(03:23):
be the first one to fall asleep and the first
one to wake up. I have always been an early
riser and a morning person. I've never been able to
like stay up late, and of course that's what you
do at sleepovers, right, And even in elementary school, I
can remember sleeping over at like my best childhood friend.
She lived in the neighborhood, so it was literally just

(03:44):
like we cut across a few backyards to get to
each other's house.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
Mollie.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
I remember she was like big on like sleeping in,
like on the weekends when we'd have sleepovers during the summer,
she could sleep in until like nine thirty, ten o'clock
and I was always like, wow, it was like the
sun came up and my eyes were open, and I
was like, Okay, now I just have to like sit
here and wait for everybody to wake up.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
Yeah, so what do you do?

Speaker 2 (04:09):
What was the move when? Because I remember I've only
woke up a couple of times. I was the guy
who slept in.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
But yeah, see I never felt comfortable enough to like
go downstairs and like watch TV. And this was before
we had like TV's in the bedroom or whatever. So
I would just like literally lay there and try to
go back to sleep, Like.

Speaker 4 (04:27):
Why can't you sleep in? Sleep in?

Speaker 1 (04:31):
So that was always the toughest part to me is
that I knew heading over there, I was gonna be
the first one to fall asleep, which is never what
you wanted to sleep over right now that that person
gets pranked a lot, but yeah, and then the first
person to wake up and I'm like, I don't even
hear their parents away. Should I go start the coffee?
Like what should I do?

Speaker 5 (04:51):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (04:52):
I'm excited.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
I'm nervous because this what this leads into is her
then wanting to go to stay somewhere else. And that's
gonna be the toughest part because it is it is
It means that I'm now starting to teach her how
to be independent and how to leave the house.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (05:10):
This is now, this is what we're starting, which is
is that gonna cry? But it is it is hard,
and she's so excited. She's so excited to have this. Yeah,
I would love to hear the good, the bad, and
the funny of sleepover store. I told her my sleepover story,
my first one. I called my mom and I got homesick.

(05:33):
I didn't even stay the night. I didn't end up
staying the night. Yeah, it's so sweet. Yeah, I like,
I don't know, I'm very I don't know, I'm excited,
I'm nervous.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
I'm not really thrilled about this moment.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
And you know what, I think that that's a really
good thing. I'm not a parent, but I think that
I can respect any parent who says I'm a little
bit nervous for the sleepover, because it shows that you
care and that you want to make it a safe
environment and a fun environment for everybody. So I think
that's healthy. I think that's really nice, all right, to

(06:07):
be a little bit, you know, not like terrified. No,
you're not like jumping off a cliff or anything. But
you know, these are kids and they do need to
be the situation needs to be handled with a little
extra care and concern. So I think that any parent
would appreciate that.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
I hope, so thank you.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Like I said, I think she's just I think everybody's
kid is like this, But there's there's a level of
innocence and naive and all the things that you try
to hold on to for as long as you can.
And this isn't leaving. This isn't like the end of it,
but it's the start to the end. It's to start
to the end. There's no Yeah, yes, she's gonna eventually
have to She's like a little baby bird if she's

(06:46):
gonna have to fly away eventually.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Oh you'll be so proud though.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yeah, sure, Yeah, good morning.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
Welcome to the B ninety three Morning Show. What's your
name and where are you from?

Speaker 5 (06:58):
This is Sam from Charlot.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
All right, Sam, we're talking sleep over stories.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
You got a good one, I do.

Speaker 5 (07:07):
I grew up in a trailer park and the girl
that would come over and stay the night, she would
wait until everybody would fall asleep and walk back home
every single time.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
Really, what was the reason why.

Speaker 5 (07:21):
She just didn't like staying doing sleepovers?

Speaker 2 (07:24):
I've heard more and more people doing that with their
kids anyways, is picking them up? They called it a
like a lad over or whatever, where they just stay
late and then and then they're right and then the
parents would come pick them up.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Did you like that or.

Speaker 5 (07:39):
It took a little bit to get used to for sure,
because I would wake up in the morning and she
would be gone, and I would panic for thing, you know,
being really Oh yeah, she came home in the middle
of the night. She would at least close the door
behind her.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Though I like that, I don't know that I think
about it. I wouldn't want my daughter walking in the
middle of the night through anywhere. But yeah, said it
was a neighbor in the in our trailer park.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
Okay, yeah, so she probably didn't have a far away
to go, but still seven, that's so little.

Speaker 5 (08:07):
Yeah, it was only in a trailer park, so it
wasn't like, you know, out in the country or anything,
but it was. It was so kind of scary.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
Yeah, yeah, a great story. Thank you for the call.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yeah, of course, have a great day, Sam, you.

Speaker 5 (08:22):
Too, Nye.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
These are the things I need because now I'm thinking about, well,
do I have to worry about this kid getting up
and walking out of the tent at some point?

Speaker 3 (08:33):
Maybe I do, Maybe I do.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
Well, maybe that's a good thing to cover on your
drive two Canadian lakes. Is to just let her know, like, hey, sweetheart, like,
if you ever feel like you're missing home, if you
ever feel like you want to call mom and dad, like,
just let us know. It's not an inconvenience at all,
Like we'll get you home or we'll get you on
the FaceTime with.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
Them or whatever.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
Like that's a great idea.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Maybe just let her know that it's not a big
deal if she's feeling any type of way.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
Yeah, I do that a lot. I like, and it shows.
This is the big thing is I get to like experiences.
So I get to learn how to like have kids
over that into soup, which I think that part is
gonna be pretty easy. But I get to show my
daughter this is what you can do when you go, yeah,
so this is that's what how I'm treating. This is

(09:19):
how you're supposed to be treated. You go, this is
the bar high. Well well yeah, and then this is
like so she feels comfortable to be like, hey, I
don't want to do like she she can set her
boundaries or she can speak up if she doesn't feel
like she wants to do something or doesn't feel comfortable. Yeah,
which is all I want that's all that would make
me them. If she called me and went, Dad, I'm
not comfortable. I want to come home, I would go wonderful,

(09:40):
I'll come get you. Not because I want her to
be home, but that she was strong enough and confident.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
Enough to say those things.

Speaker 4 (09:45):
Absolutely.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
But I would love to hear your story. It doesn't
have to be a sweet, like nice story. I want
to hear everything because I gotta get it. I gotta,
I gotta, I gotta come at it at all angles here.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
So if you got a good sleepover story, calling now six.

Speaker 4 (09:58):
One, six two four to ninety three, ninety three, Good.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
Morning, Welcome to be ninety three Morning Show. What's your name? A?
Where you're from?

Speaker 5 (10:05):
Eric?

Speaker 6 (10:05):
A con from Middleville?

Speaker 3 (10:07):
All right, Eric, do you got a sleepover story?

Speaker 5 (10:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (10:09):
I haven't thought about this in years, but probably thirteen
or fourteen years old, me and some friends spent the
night in his house out in the country. Uh huh,
in a tent in their front yard. In the middle
of the night, one of our friends, sleepwalking, opens the
tent and takes off and just starts walking, he said.
When he finally snapped too, he was on our old
dirt road in the middle of nowhere and he had

(10:30):
to walk up to the only house that he saw
what's a light on to find out where he was
and try to get back to our friend's house, which
he didn't really know where they were.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
So that is wild sleepwalkers.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
Used to my cousin used to sleep or I don't
know if she still does, would sleepwalk, and it used
to terrify me because I was like afraid that, like
she would do something crazy. But sleep sleepwalking is a wild,
wild thing. I wonder if I have to ask about
that too.

Speaker 6 (10:56):
In the middle of the night. Yeah, it's the tent
and go for a walk. Has no idea that he's.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
Doing it, and nobody would, like his parents didn't know
that he was a sleepwalker.

Speaker 4 (11:06):
This was like a brand new piece of info.

Speaker 6 (11:08):
Well apparently so, I mean we didn't have an interview
with him as kids, But yeah, he just funds up
the tent, went for a walker. He was scared to
death because he had no idea where he was and
had no idea how to get back to our friend's
house and knocked on a complete stranger's door, which is
completely scary these days because this was back in the eighties.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
But yeah, well, yeah, you wouldn't have to interview the person.
But did he I mean, did you ever have a
sleepover with him again? Did they do it again?

Speaker 6 (11:33):
Yeah, we didn't sleep in tents, but okay, so he
was in the house with locked doors.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Okay, Michigan's number one for new Country BE ninety three. Well,
we've heard some pretty crazy stories from sleepovers.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
A lot of sleepwalkers.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
It's terrifying. A lot of people sleep and walk around
at night.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
A lot of people and a lot of friends figure out, Hey,
I sleepwalk at a sleepover, which you know, not an
ideal situation. And we had some pretty crazy calls, but
this one might be the craziest.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
Holy cow blown away by this one. Good morning, Welcome
to the BE ninety three Morning Show. What's your name
and where are you from?

Speaker 5 (12:10):
This is Michelle from.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
All Right, Michelle, do you got a sleepover story?

Speaker 5 (12:14):
Yeah? I have a couple of them.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
All right, very first fleepover.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
I went over to the friend's house and fell asleep,
woke up.

Speaker 5 (12:22):
Noise woke me up, and I woke up my friend
and I was thrown on your hair. Noise and she's listening.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
She says, oh, that's just bats.

Speaker 5 (12:30):
That fly around and stuff in the room and there's.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
That And I said the road what yeah, And she
was like cool about it.

Speaker 5 (12:38):
Oh yeah, she was just gonna go back to sleep.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
She's like, it's fine to go back to sleep. I'm like,
I no, you hear something funny.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
That's hilarious.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
First off is that I told my daughter, like, as
I ease her into, like you're going on a sleepover,
the best part about it is you get to learn
like all these new things that different families do and
sometimes different cultures and sometimes different ever. And I was
the simple thing that I said to her was sometimes
people eat dinner and drink milk every night. But I
don't know how I prepare her for bats in a room.

(13:10):
Great story, Thanks for the call.

Speaker 6 (13:11):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
If we could hand out the big dollar donkey money,
like select someone to win the money, I would give
it to that family and say give it to the pads.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
Yeah, oh yeah, absolutely we should have though, now that
you say that a call of the week, because I
feel like, Michelle, you just had the call.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Of the week, like bats in the attic or like outside,
totally understandable in the actual room where you sleep.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Yeah, and casual about it like, oh, yeah, this is
the bats you see.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
It'll be fine, just go back to bed.

Speaker 4 (13:43):
I would have freaked out, Yes, I would have freaked out.
