She was in nursery school. But her dad arranged for her whole class to go on a field trip to Jim Henson's studio where all of the puppets were created. And this, you know, they've talked it up for ages. And this is something, of course, that they were all really, really looking forward to it. But when the day came around for the field trip, Jill was sick. She had tonsillitis.

So she wasn't able to go. And of course, being very, very young, she didn't understand that, you know, her father had already committed to this and had already committed to take the whole class with her. So they had to go ahead without his own daughter. They had to go ahead and run the trip. And she was devastated.

couldn't understand why he was doing this, taking all of her friends, leaving her behind. And even though she had tonsillitis, so she had a really sore throat, she stood there screaming at the top of her lungs, screaming at her parents so they were not letting them go.

And she says, you know, that it was a small thing in retrospect, but that when every time she thinks about it, she still feels this overwhelming sense of disappointment every time she sees the Muppets.

So every time you see a Muppets Christmas Carol, you're brought back to this moment of not just a rose-tinted view of, oh, ha ha, this is a funny thing that happened to me as a child, but really like almost being right back there again and feeling it as though she's right there in the moment again.

No, so it's actually, it is very unusual. Whereas, say, my memory of a childhood event might be very, very fuzzy, very foggy. I might remember kind of a core detail of that event, but I might not remember how I got there or what happened afterwards or what I was wearing. All of those really, really clear details, those are still very vivid in Jill's memory.

Yeah, exactly. So like she's, a lot of the time really what's happening here is that she's constantly reliving these same experiences and kind of perseverating on them and thinking about them. And then it does mean then that you're not able to let some of these things go.
