I have this theory: that the inner surface of the womb, as experienced through intervening layers of vernix and seawater and membrane, must feel a great deal like flannel sheets.

I mean, what else would explain how good it feels to sleep between them, when the weather is cold and the nights are long?

With that in mind, I’m going to heap praise upon the husband for a moment about my christmas present: flannel-lined jeans from LL Bean. Not only did they keep me warm as I staggered to work this morning—damn, it is cold out there—but they have the added benefit of being Peace and Love Trousers. Put them on and you are suffused with peace and love.

Oh, yes.

UPDATED: to get my fetal-development terminology right. I knew I should have fact-checked that bit.

Commentary

re flannel-lined jeans: I’m so glad you like them and that they keep you warm and full of peace and love. Seems like they were a good gift.
I wonder if you can get a flannel-lined BMW convertible?

That option is indeed available for the newly redesigned 2005 BMW 3 series. The LL Bean Northeast Edition 3 series model comes with flannel lined seats, automatic retractable backseat animal protection cover, heated seats and head support, and , finally, an onboard navigation system featuring the accent of a 68 year old New Hampshire native.

Ay-yuh.
