I have a big fear of LICE!! The thought of one of my children having lice scares the living daylights out of me!
My kids know that if I see anything foreign on their hair they will get a full lice check. It is common for my daughter to roll her eyes and groan as she is searched from ear to ear every morning as we brush her hair. I sometimes wonder if she understands the severity of finding a louse in her hair...
Mom...my scalp is itchy, can you check for lice?
Of course I did what any proud, beaming mother would do once she realized her daughter was growing up and becoming "louse aware" on her own.
I turned on a bright lamp, bent my daughter's head over, and began a detailed comb-through in search of lice. Lucky for us, it was just an itchy scalp....
It just goes to show that you can never educate your kids enough!

That is funny...I have never once worried about lice. Sometimes I tell my son if he doesn't wash his hair he will get lice and have to shave his head...he would rather cut off his limbs than cut his hair. Please do not tell him that lice do not like dirty hair!
Ok, my head is itchy now...LOL! Edcuating and "passing on" our fears is a fine line...LOL! ;)
I had lice when I was a kid...it was devastating and I definitely do NOT ever want to have to deal with it again. My mom found it while she was braiding my hair one day and then took me to the nurse to be sure - and it was, indeed, lice! So horrible and it was right around Christmas and I missed my chorus concert - I was so upset about the whole thing. I hope you never have to deal with it.
