The one with the Skank Blanket.....

I wonder what searches will lead curious minds to this post! :-) (Insert evil laugh....)

Anyway, this weekend my parents visited to watch the beloved Iowa Hawkeyes go 8-0!
Here is the conversation that happened during a portion of the game:

Mom- I know something I can get you both for Christmas! (While putting on a blanket)
Me- You are not buying us a snuggie! (I think these things are the most hideous inventions ever made!)
Mom- No, on QVC they had the original creator of the that blanket and it's actually called a "Slanket"

Me- Mom, those are dumb.
Mom- What if you want to change the channel, you have to take your arm out of the blanket to change it!
Hubby- (in his most loving, yet sarcastic voice)Yes, its so difficult to take your arm out of the blanket to change the channel, I don't know if I can do it anymore!

Mom- See! I knew you'd like one.
Hubby- Those are so stupid, I can't believe people buy them.
Mom- (all while laughing)  I'm getting you one anyway!

25 minutes later, Hubby brings the subject back up and makes fun of my mom....
Hubby- So, what do you do if your hands are cold or your back is cold because it's open in the back like a hospital gown?

Mom then replies- Yeah, I don't know.... But  now I know you're getting a skank blanket for Christmas!

Dad, hubby & I all stare blankly at Mom....

Me- Mom, what exactly is a skank blanket?  Does it come fresh from the factory dirty covered with holes?

Mom- Laughing hysterically says- Wow, I havent' heard that word in a long time, I'm not sure how I came up with that word....

Dad- I can't beleive you just said that!  I don't know if anyone would want a "skank blanket"

Me- And now we definitely don't want one!

I still think she might buy us one, only as a joke.  Apparently she thought they were very cool.
