Yeah, no, I got lice in kindergarten.

I think it was like a really common thing in northern Minnesota to get lice during the winter with kids mixing up hats and sharing hats, sharing brushes, whatever.

So I got lice in like kindergarten.

And my mom, I mean, everything...

All of our stuffed animals went into a plastic bag for months.

Everything got washed.

We had lice shampoo.

She picked it out with the comb.

She made me sleep in mayo overnight, like a shower mask with mayo.

She wasn't taking any chances.

She did everything.

And, like, I spent hours with my head down on the kitchen table.

Oh, my God.
