Those look nice and soft.

This isn't really THAT weird, though, is it?

I think people used to usually wear a stocking cap to bed, back when houses were harder to heat.

Yes, back then! My grandma said that in Minnesota winters, the kids all put a big rock in the fireplace (like the size of a football, in the evening, and when it was time to go to bed, they would wrap the hot rock in a towel or blanket and take it to bed with them.

But that was when there was no 'lectricity.

They called the rock a 'pig'.
