The Blanket Connundrum
Posted 2016.05.31 9.41 in Pointless Blather byI have this blanket that’s super soft and warm. My mum gave it to me years ago. It’s just perfect.
Except in one corner there’s a tag that’s sort of scratchy and itchy. So I always make sure that’s at the bottom where it won’t irritate me.
Invariably when I’m cold and I grab the blanket in the middle of the night, it’s all backwards and I end up with the tag in my face or by my arm and end up having to turn the thing all around to get it right.
Every so often I stop and think: I could just cut off the tag. Then there won’t be an itchy corner, and I will never have to worry about whether or not the blanket is right-side-up or up-side-down.
But I never actually cut off the tag.
Because I am worried that without the tag…
I won’t actually be able to tell if the blanket is right-side-up or not.
