Blankets - Brief Guide On Its Importance

You know why singing to kids is fun? One, it’s nice to see them learn as they listen to you. And two, no matter how old you are, you are never too old to enjoy a nursery rhyme. It was only when I was singing to Rian while tucking him to bed a few minutes ago that I began to focus on the words in Hap Palmer’s famous nursery rhyme, "Don’t Wash My Blanket". There was something that I found touching in the words, and some of it applied to me too, though I am much older. The song goes something like this.

Don’t wash my blanket, don’t take it away

I like to drag it around while I play

To me, it’s okay, dirty and gray,

Please don’t wash my blanket today.

We all loved our blankets when we were kids, didn’t we? How we loved dragging it as we moved all around the house, without a care about it getting dirty and gray. With the way it makes us so cozy, it has always been a source of comfort right from the time we were kids, just as the song suggests.

I might get lonely, I might get scared,

I need to know that my blanket is there

I might get angry, I might cry

I need to know that my blanket’s nearby

There are days when we are lonely, there are days when we are annoyed with those around us, there are days when we can’t stop worrying and there are days when we want to do nothing but cry, and the only thing that can comfort us on such days is a good sleep in a comfortable bed, under these warm covers. Yes, it does more than just keep us from shivering on a cold day.

Apart from all of this, a blanket also plays a major role in enhancing the interiors of our bedroom. You can also spread it over a bed like a cover instead of folding and placing it at the foot of the bed. This will make your bedroom much more stylish and cozy.
