Bloom County is an American comic strip by Berkeley Breathed which originally ran from December 8, 1980, until August 6, 1989. It examined events in politics and culture through the viewpoint of a fanciful small town in Middle America, where children often have adult personalities and vocabularies and where animals can talk.

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.
