My Blanket

I have a confession.  I am 27 years old and still sleep with my baby blanket.  It is a yellow 2 foot by 2 foot square of heaven. Moe makes fun of it, but I often times wake up to find it on his side of the bed, tucked under his head or on his chest!  This past weekend, my best friend was visiting, and we were laughing about old times when we used to go on volleyball trips and always take our blankets.  She then confessed that she had yet to share her secret with her boyfriend.  It made me think, why are people so embarrassed about sleeping with a keepsake from their childhood?  I mean thinking logically about it, a blanket serves many practical purposes. 

1) serves as an extra layer in the winter months
2) can be balled up into a pillow when traveling
3) keeps you warm on a plane trip
4) provides a quick layer of clothing when need to jump out of bed on the fly
5) provides a feeling of comfort when you are sleeping alone
6) can be a fabulous conversation piece
7) can be folded up and used between your legs (if you are like me and have to sleep with a pillow between my legs as night - weird habit that I inherited from my dad)
8) significant others secretly love it
9) has sentimental value as it is a childhood memorabilia

In conclusion, I think that this comprehensive list is proof of why it is 100% appropriate to be sleeping with my baby blanket at age 27!
