Truth is, we really can't remember how we came to own our pillow. It looks a little grimy without a pillowcase on it, but since it has the perfect amount of squishy-ness, we hesitate to replace it.
But Tamara is worse off than we are. Featured on Sunday night's episode of the TLC series "My Strange Addiction," Tamara is 33 years old and has been carrying around a pillow she bought in 1982 for the last 29 years.
And she's never washed it.
The fact that she's never washed it is exacerbated by the fact that she bought it at an antique shop. So there's a good chance it hadn't been washed for the last 29 years BEFORE she bought it.
She also refers to this pillow by the nickname "Boo," and carries it around with her about 18 hours a day -- to the gym, the hair salon, even in the baby seat of her grocery cart when she's at the supermarket. And while she admits it might be "a little dirty," she swears it's "not stinky."
"I need it and I don't care if President Whoever saw me with it, I'm not ashamed," she says, referring to the pillow as her "best friend."
There is one bit of good news: Tamara draws the line at bringing the pillow with her into the restroom.

I hope she at least puts clean pillow cases on her pillow every now and then.
Sometimes though...I feel guilty because I have another pillow on my bed that I sometimes sleep with and I am afraid they are going to get jealous of one another or one of them might feel neglected. Does anyone else have that problem?
And all you pillow haters better watch out.
Plus I have a pretty emotional attachment to it. It was my mom's and she gave it to me, and every time I need a good cry it's there. Just a form of comfort, really. I don't take it everywhere like I used to when I was little, but I'm still attached to it.
And my sister's name is Tamara.
