Because of the phrase, "sleeping together" was always equated to sex, I was afraid to let my best friend share my bed with me during a sleepover. I didn't want to get pregnant. Since I didn't fully grasp the concept of sex yet, I also didn't realize that two girls couldn't have sex and get pregnant anyway. She spent a good 20 minutes giving me a better birds and the bees talk than my parents did. She was a year younger than me.
