Okay, so if you've seen the Snuggi commercial you've seen the amazing difficulty that a blanket can present. It's awkward, it moves, it creeps off your feet and falls off your shoulders...clearly it is an atrocious invention. I saw evidence of this first hand today. Ella was sitting on her bean bag and her foot was sticking out of her blanket. She screamed at it and screamed at it, but that stubborn blanket just wouldn't move back to where it was supposed to be. Why didn't she just move her foot? Why should she have to do that?! Why should she be inconvenienced to move her foot 3 inches to the left when that blanket is supposed to do it's job by moving 3 inches to the right? It really is outrageous.
So next time you see that commercial and think how ridiculous that lady looks as she's struggling with her blanket, please keep in mind my daughter Ella and know that for some people, this is a real and true burden.
Did you tell her that she should consider herself lucky to live in this age of ten dollar fleece blankets at Old Navy? Why, back in my day we didn't have blankets. All we had were knitting needles and sheep and if we wanted to be warm we had to spin some wool into yarn and get busy knitting...Seriously, though, I enjoy reading your posts!
