A lock-in is an event wherein adolescents are locked into a facility, usually a school, gym or church, all night and are allowed to stay up all night with fewer rules and regulations than they are usually subjected to.
We had one Friday night. I was supposed to work from 8:30 until midnight and then be relieved by a coworker. I finally got to leave at 2am. I am ashamed to admit that my boss, who is old enough to be my father, stayed up ALL night without using stimulants. In all I was awake for 2o hours straight on Friday.
If you do not have kids, or they aren't teens yet, and you have not seen a teenager in their pj's count yourself very lucky!
That was WAY more than I ever wanted to know about any of them!
Some of them brought stuffed animals, which I can handle, but the pajamas were just WAY too much.
There were no fights, which was nice, and the other nice thing was that the dish I brought for the potluck received high praise in that it was declared to "be like black folks food!"
