Billie Eilish shares real-life horror story about a childhood camping trip

April 2, 2019

Billie Eilish put her unique spin on a Draw My Life video, blessing us with a brief glimpse into her mind – and a story about a camping trip from hell.

Draw My Life videos started way back in 2011, a popular trend where personalities narrate their life history set to videos of the subject drawing illustrations on a whiteboard of various events in their life. Truths are revealed, touching or hilarious stories are told, and we end up learning more about the person or celebrity as a result.

In this particular clip, Billie shows off her (quite good) drawing skills and regales us with a cautionary tale about why you shouldn’t just run up to random deer you see at a campground.

Billie recounts the tale of the time she went out on a “homeschool camping trip” to the campsite where her parents got married. The trip was only meant to be a few days long, but a couple of hours after they girls got there, they found deer in a field and had to check it out.

The girls ran toward the deer, when one of them suddenly began screaming about having a bee in her hair. Eventually, each girl began screaming bloody murder because they found bees in their hair. Billie ran back to help her friends as bees slowly began infesting her own head for some weird reason, stinging her head.

They all came to the realization that the “bees” were actually yellow jackets. The girls had stepped on a yellow jacket nest, which sounds like a nightmare. Poor Billie ended up a humiliating spectacle in front of her parents, friends, and the boys in the camp as she nursed a swollen finger from yellow jacket stings.

So perhaps this is part of where Billie’s trippy visuals come from – all those injections in her back in the “bury a friend” video? They suddenly seem to make a lot more sense, thinking about all those yellow jacket stings, don’t they?
