Kalni,

What a hard position you are in! Why does he even ask for this now when you gave him so many chances before and he threw them all away? How do you know he won't throw this one away too? Why is it different?

And head lice! Argh! After you treat the children's heads you must also treat your rugs, sofas, pillows, interior of the car, everywhere their little heads may have touched. It's a great time to get a very short haircut for your son. But pulling those horrid little combs through a girl's long hair is miserable.
