You see, in an unfortunate confluence of events, she discovered lice on her 2 youngest kids' heads the day before her oldest son's college applications were due. And her 8-year-old daughter spent the day sobbing because her mother cut her (infested) hair. And her 2-year-old was traumatized by her older sister's screaming during said haircut. The teen daughter hasn't run away yet, but we consider that imminent.
So, yeah - I won't complain. Not much, anyway...I even made it to Knit Night this evening, where I probably convinced any childless knitters there to get their tubes tied by regaling them with tales of parasitic invasions. The life of the party, that's what I am...

Watching Fiddler on the Roof probably kept all of you alive.
ReplyDeleteGosh, I can't imagine the stress of a college application AND lice in one day. Your friend might be superman in disguise! (or superwoman).
That poor woman. It does give you perspective as you sit idly picking nits, right?
ReplyDeleteNit Night. . . .I'm cracking up over here even if it wasn't intentional.
ReplyDeleteMy oldest blamed my youngest for bringing them home from school, when, come to find out, oldest was getting them from the headphones in the high school French class. Which the school found out after we went through 75 lbs of laundry detergent on that one. Ah, the good old days!
ReplyDelete(Crisco. Suffocate them with Crisco on the head and wrapped in plastic wrap overnight. Gross, but nontoxic and works better than anything on those store counters.)
