Awww, Paula! I just love that little Sue! As for the blankets, no I was not at all tempted to wet them. Not for a second. The look like clothes that was shredded up and compressed somehow. There were even little shiny metallic in them. I guess that makes them look festive? After reading the label and thinking about who made them and what went into them, I guess I am a snob ... even one without a proper blanket .... and into the trash they went!
