I was shopping at Mr Price a while ago, and I found this fluffy blue blanket. Usually when you come home from a little impulse shopping the goods don't seem nearly as wonderful as they did when they were under the buy-me-quick lighting. However when I took this baby home it was the softest most yummiest blankie ever.I had to fight the kids and the dog off my blankie and it took a while before it was established in their brains that they were to stay away from it. Leave! Mom's blankie! The dog may need extra lessons though.
During the winter I slept with it every night and cuddled under it while watching TV. It sat on my lap as I worked at the computer. I have become a real Linus, from Peanuts, dragging the thing behind me wherever I go. I even contemplated taking it with on the last weekend I spent with friends. It was sorely missed.
Last night, it was too hot to sleep under the blue blankie anymore, so I cuddled with a corner of it as I fell asleep. I made myself a little sad thinking that Roger was cuddling up to something a little more lively and here I was pathetically cuddling up to a blue blankie. Still Fluff can't be THIS soft and my blankie doesn't snore, kick or talk in it's sleep.
Besides it's not like I sleep alone. The night is filled with little feet that patter down the passage, burst into the room with "I'm scared" and things can get a little crowded in there. Come to think of it it's just as well it's just the blue blankie and I in the bed for the time being. I can give it up whenever I want, I swear! Is there a 12 step-pro gramme for blankie users?
Hi I'm Scorn and it's been 3 nights since I last used my blankie...
Comfort can be found in the strangest of places, even an old blue blankie.
