happy hunting
yesterday i got the dreaded email from the school nurse saying that a child in sebastian’s school had been diagnosed with head lice.
i placed my hand at the top of my head when i read this line.
she gently reminded us that children aren’t supposed to come to school when they have living, white, legged, accessories adorning their hair.
i ran my hand through my hair
the email continued that lice are very contagious.
i started to scratch.
i then did a delightful dr google search on "prevention lice" and found some homemade proactive chemistry projects you can make in your kitchen: most involve mayonnaise and vinegar. other suggestions included wearing lots of hairspray which explains why no one ever got lice in the 1980’s.
then i ran out, caught the 28 bus and purchased some prevent lice shampoo (smells awful, no wonder lice won’t go near it) and waited for sebastian to come home.
the child who contracted lice was not in sebastian’s class, or grade but i still needed to have a good look. the fact that i was itching my own head more than he was itching his was a good sign, but i still needed to search.
result: CLEAN.
however i am still a little itchy.
