Blanket Theory

Trey Davey has developed an affinity for his blanket, which he carries around and occasionally sucks. This activity brings to mind the Charles M. Schulz’ Peanuts comic strip character Linus van Pelt. Both boys have brown hair, usually wear a red shirt, and seem to always be carrying a blue blanket. In fact, the term “security blanket” was coined by Linus, who though young, is unusually smart. Often quoting the Gospels, Linus is quite the philosopher and theologian. Perhaps security blankets help little boys think better. While Linus is burdened with a dog, Snoopy, an older sister, Lucy, and grandmother constantly trying to rid him of his blanket, we’re hoping the blanket’s intellectual magic will work on our Davey.
