        For a while, that parent.com article comes across as the pajamas spontaneously igniting, but it sounds like what actually happened was that the burned kids got ahold of matches, a lighter, a candle, or another flame.

        I’ve never heard this before. Clothing that doesn’t burn well seems like a good idea, in general.

          Yeah while reading the article I could not figure the source of ignition for the clothing. I grew up in dry New Mexico, I remember as a kid when I would get into bed I would see static discharge in my blankets. So I kept wondering if that was the source. Then finally they mentioned matches etc.

      Just as Opus was coming into his own, he was overshadowed by Bill.
