When was the first sleepover?

1 Answer

Answer :

It was back in the 15th century when Christopher Columbus traveled to what we now know as America. He was a notorious ladies man so the fathers of the native american daughters would gather them all up and put them in tents in order to keep them from Columbus. A group of warriors would surround the tent and protect them while they were in “slumber” and the name “slumber party” soon followed.
