You used to be so comfortable. I searched for the perfect one.
I took great care and washed you with my Tide. I used fabric softener and a dryer sheet, so you’d smell so good and be extra soft.
You aren’t though. You’re crunchy.
Every time I dry you after washing, I burn you. I have to pull you apart and you are so, so crunchy.
Why??
I’ve done this so many times to you, and I just don’t understand. I tried the delicate cycle, but you are still so darn crunchy.
Personifying the blanket in this piece lends itself to such strong voice… This would be a great lesson for young writers!
Oh poor crunchy blanket. I’m laundry impaired so I cannot offer any advice. 😦
I wonder how your crunchy blanket would write about you. (check the content on the blanket label – probably too much poly something…, good for the cat or the dog!)
Very cool that the blanket had voice!
Used to happen to my sons blankets too. Had to get three because within a few months one would be crunchy. I hate that! So annoying.
Word of the day – crunchy! Fun!
I’ve never heard of a crunchy blanket. I mean, Maddie’s is crunchy but that’s because she sucks on it. Gross.
Must be something in the material…. I dunno. But I love how you wrote this to the blanket! Funny!
That’s the worst. I had a crunchy blanket. I think it was too big for the dryer and a part of it stuck to the vent and became crunchy. At least I didn’t start a fire
Oh, poor blankey! I too have a blanket that I keep close. I live in fear of it loosing it’s blanket-ness. I love your ode to your blankey.
