When your wife calls up at 8:24 am and asks how itchy you feel, you know it’s not a good thing.
We have head lice in the house.
My only comforting thought is that they might be Magic Santa Lice, but again I’m not sure that’s what’s going on.
I anticipate seeing lots of short hair and mounds of laundry when I get home tonight*. I’m actually going to request a bald head because after she posed the question, I began itching like mad. Psychological reaction, I know, but still. Yuck.
We’ve been warned that the schools are rampant with lice. Having lice is not a reflection on the personal hygiene of our children or the cleanliness of our home; it’s just an unfortunate occurrence.
So, any advice out there from people who’ve gone down this path?
*Very true. My hair -- so far, lice free -- is now also only poking 3/8 of an inch out of my scalp. Kind of like the bad missionary haircut I had in Tours.

houses. So here are the fruits of many hours spent with Harry Potter and
Indiana Jone...
