Law School Dropout (LSD) was giving me a sweet head scratch yesterday, and I was telling her how I kind of liked Lice Check Day when I was a kid, with those mommies ever so gently poking around my head in search of cooties. I then told her that it was a great day unless you actually had lice, in which case they threw a bag over your head, sent your ass home, and everyone for the rest of their lives remembered that you were a nasty fucker with parasites.
I did my friend a favour by looking after her small children. The next day l was sent home from the hairdresser's salon as they had discovered head lice. No less shameful at 30 than at 6.
ReplyDeleteGB: Quite true, but kind of a lot of work, like eating crab legs.
ReplyDelete11: That's the last time you watch over those dirty little bastards, right!?
This topic always makes me so itchy. I know that lice has nothing to do with being dirty or gross, but you are right, whenever I hear that a kid at my kids school has it, I never ever think of that kid as anything other than "the kid that had lice".
ReplyDeleteI loved head check day too. Kind of like when you get your hair cut and the shampoo/head massage before it but not quite as good.
during my elementary school days, there was an occasion where a girl came home with lice from a birthday party and only the other girls who attended the sleepover were called down to the nurse's office to be checked.
ReplyDeleteRadio: Right! Not quite as good, but still pretty good.
ReplyDeleteJov: Oh wow! Lice infestation fallout. How embarrassing for that kid. But funny . . .
