History is one of my favorite subjects and I am a voracious reader.I will also watch just about any movie that is based on some true event in history. Especially if it deals with war or some true crime event.So I had heard of bundling before, but I had never really given the idea much interest until I saw a movie called The Patriot . In it a boy is literally sewn into a sack by the mother so that he might spend the night in the daughters bed. The father seems a bit worried by the idea, but the mother says "Don't worry, I sew better than my mother did." He says "I hope so." I have done a little research on it, and I find it to be an interesting custom .
