HM, You have me smiling already this morning. I love your sense of humor. I even pictured happy head lice!
I guess most parents go thru it. Our experience was when our oldest S was about 8 or 9. It was mid August, and H had him in the tub. Our boys are both very blonde, and the oldest, when you wet his head his hair just disappears. H poured water on his head in prep to shampoo it, and voila!....you could see bugs everywhere!
Now H and I had never had delt with lice before, so we called a neighbor on the phone to come over and look. She was an older, trusted family friend with 2 older boys of her own. So, picture this...three adults huddled around the naked and dripping 9 year old, trying not to be freaked out, but also trying not to scare the child either. Lice were not a real common problem in our area, and this child happens to be a germ-a-phobe.
The diagnosis was lice, and I was off to the grocery store to try and discreetly buy someting to get rid of the problem. It was 10:30 at night, and it also happened to be H's and my wedding anniversary!
Some memories are just to good to forget
Most of us are about as happy as we make up our minds to be.
