In a recent episode of The Joel McHale Show, actress Kristin Moore, known for her candid approach to parenting, shared an unforgettable anecdote that definitely proves she has no filter. This time, the subject of her story was quite unexpected: pinworms. Yes, you read that right—pinworms.
During her appearance, while the cameras were still rolling, Kristin revealed how her 2-year-old daughter, Mia, inadvertently passed on these unwelcome guests to her. For those fortunate enough to be unfamiliar with pinworms, they are tiny, thread-like worms that can inhabit the intestines and rectum of humans. The female pinworm lays her eggs in the anal area, leading to significant itching and discomfort.
As the conversation shifted, Kristin recounted her visit to Mia’s preschool, where she noticed that all the carpets had been removed. Curious, she inquired about the situation and learned there had been a pinworm outbreak. Naturally, Kristin turned to Google for information and discovered that one of the main signs of pinworm infestation is kids scratching their bottoms. (Parents, take heed!)
Before long, she found herself monitoring her daughter’s diaper changes, and to her dismay, she spotted a tiny, white worm. But the story didn’t end there. In a twist of fate, Kristin discovered that she had contracted pinworms as well. “It wasn’t painful,” she assured McHale, “but it was very itchy,” she added, shedding light on the not-so-glamorous side of motherhood.
Before wrapping up her story, Kristin humorously noted that her entire family had to undergo treatment for the pinworms due to their contagious nature. As she extended her hand for a shake, she quipped, “Good to be here, Joel,” leaving McHale momentarily horrified.
