my nightmare

I have declared war on my family. They haven't done anything evil or wrong. I am on code red. Rose's best friend has lice. Please whisper this I don't want it getting around. I remember being terrified when I had lice as a child. I wasn't the only one who paniced. My aunt took it the hardest. She wouldn't come anywhere near us for days. I am pretty sure she is still going to counseling for the ordeal. My mother and grandmother went through my sister and my hair inch by inch with a tiny comb. I at the time had hair down my back. It took hours to go through it. Then next day having lived through the ordeal my sister announced our condition to the neighborhood. I could have killed her. So I have now gone through my own tiny families heads like a crazed baboon crawling all over both Liams and Rose. I found nothing. My head still itches. Liam is enjoying himself he likes being picked over. So for the next few days I will be combing through everyone's heads until I feel I have conquered this!

How scary... I remember when I was a counselor at McKeever and there had been an outbreak in the group before us. They made us all stand in a line and have our heads checked. It was so embarrasing. It creeped me out because it reminded me of a prison film. Then I couldn't sleep because I kept thinking the kid with lice might have been sleeping in my bed. Good luck, and try not to comb everyone bald!
