Between being a BABY and being a SLOTH, it’s probably very difficult for that critter to understand what is being done to it, and why. Of all the things that could get slathered in lard and swaddled, a SLOTH is probably one of the most easily perplexed by this.

  I wonder if that is why it seemed eager to hug its kin at the end of the video.

You know, I never thought about it before, but I suppose it’s my nightly swaddling in lard and sulfur that’s kept me mange-free all these years, too.

wondering if the lard and sulfur mix will work on my kid’s chronic head lice, guess there is only one way to find out
- Will Traxler
  
  As someone who’s experienced getting head lice, I recommend giving him the xaolin monk head shave, followed by an anti lice shampoo. I’d also like to point out, if it’s chronic he has to be getting from someplace, it’s generally a good bet to have any children he plays with get the same treatment.

  Walter Brennan suggest rancid bear grease. I called Lowes and Rite Aid to see if they had any, but they hung up on me.

Could’ve used more footage of Mr. cutiesloth there actually IN the onesie and less of the shaving and slathering.
