Thanks to Ninjabetic -  I'm non blogging nearly y'all know what!
Because today is No D Day, in addition to many inwards the DOC are blogging nearly anything in addition to everything but D.
To read what others wrote on No D Day, click HERE.
As far me, every twelvemonth On No D Day I write nearly a specific childhood memory, this twelvemonth it's all nearly my blanket - And don't telephone telephone it a blanky, dammit! 


When I was a rattling petty kid, I had a blanket, non a blanky heed you, but a blanket. H5N1 beautiful in addition to soft white blanket.
And dissimilar Linus Van Pelt, I DID NOT send it amongst me where always I went.
But I did similar to know that it was inwards the full general vicinity whenever  I was abode in addition to earlier bed, or on long automobile trips amongst my family.
The white blanket was a thick, white cotton wool amongst a tiny white on white checkerboard designing in addition to it was incredibly soft. I'd autumn asleep amongst the blanket (along amongst a deport named Honey in addition to a sock doll named Sockey, who took the house of my dearest but forever lost velvet Piglet) over my caput in addition to looking at the checkboard designing at night.
But past times day, the blanket would plough into all sorts of things.
Things similar a picnic tablecloth for the build pretend picnics I had on my living room floor, consummate amongst cream cheese in addition to saltines atop pinkish plastic doll dishes in addition to Bluebird build grapejuice inwards mini white cans amongst a bluebird on the front.
Other times in addition to amongst a few twists it became a "Genie of the lamp" type turban, a magic carpeting that I could indeed ride on, a " Super Kelly Cape", a bride's veil or a sleeping pocketbook for my dolls.
Yes, that white blanket rocked - And for a petty daughter amongst a big imagination, the possibilities of what I could turn it into were endless!
But I intend the affinity I had for my blanket variety of worried my mom.
Because 1 Sabbatum morn I woke upwardly in addition to the white blanket was gone - in addition to thence was my mom. And according to my older sister, mom he'd gone to the garden optic to purchase unopen to bags of dirt in addition to fertilizer in addition to when she came back, I ran out to encounter her.
Me: Mom, I can't notice my blanket!
Mom: Kelly, you're inwards kindergarten in addition to y'all start outset degree adjacent year, you're likewise big to slumber amongst a blanket.
Me: It's non only a blanket mom - It turns into other stuff.
Mom: Kelly, I accept unopen to bad news. Somehow your blanket ended upwardly inwards the body of my automobile in addition to I didn't realize it until the workers were piling the the bags of dirt in addition to fertilizer into my trunk... in addition to on move past times of your blanket - And it's ruined.
Me: Can't y'all only launder it?
Mom: Kelly, produce y'all know what fertilizer is?
And for the record, I did non know what fertilizer was. And in addition to then inwards peachy detail, she went on to explicate precisely what fertilizer was in addition to where it genuinely came from in addition to that fifty-fifty if she washed my white blanket xx times, it nevertheless wouldn't live build clean plenty to slumber or play with.
So nosotros had to throw blanket out - And it was a deplorable hateful solar daytime inwards the Kunik house.
My mom never copped to intentionally destroying the white blanket, though I nevertheless accept my suspicions to this rattling day.
And I mourned the loss of my blanket/ toy/prop for days.... Until my parents gave me a ginormous Holly Holly rag doll and my sis showed me the wonders of my mother's cedar breast in addition to all the costume type of materials that was stored inside.   But I intend I'll continue those wonders for another post service
