How much is 1969 $10 today?

Easy, tie the blanket around your neck and tell grandma that it is not a blanket but a cape and you are a super hero. Then tell her she owes you $10 as you are your favorite charity. The Linus League.

No-body puts Baby in a corner!Linus, on the other hand, gets cornered all the time…

If Linus’s parents don’t object to the blanket, grandma needs to stop sticking her nose in what isn’t her business. She alreay raised her own kids, it’s not her job to raise the grandkids.
