For as long as I can remember my dad has slept under his own denim quilt on top of the covers on my parents bed. This habit of his has been passed down to at least 2 of his children if not all 3. Since my sister has been married for a number of years I have no idea if she sleeps under her own denim quilt or not. I do however know that my brother and I still have our own denim quilts, made by my mother, that we each sleep under every night.
To some it may be strange and they may wonder why the quilt doesn't just go over the sheets and why not get rid of the unused comforter all together, but there is just something about sleeping on top of the comforter under a denim quilt. At least this way my bed is always made when I wake up. I just have to fold the one denim quilt to make my room respectable.
It is a wonder the habits and small things that children pick up from their parents. Parents mold a childs life, but sometimes even the habits that were necessarily meant to be taught linger on.
