Found a live louse on a kiddo today. Got some tape & grabbed it. Not sure why I thought I should keep looking for more, but I did. Found a second & was trying to grab it...looked at the tape & the first was gone!!! Looked quick in her hair to see if I could find it & I couldn't. WHERE DID IT GO?!?!?!?! IS IT ON ME?!?!?!?! :wideyed::nailbiting:

I'm itchy.

So, I'm on spring break this week and have enjoyed sleeping in... until this am. You know that last dream and when you wake up you really have to pee?

Well, it was a detailed in living color dream about the worst head lice infestation I have ever seen! Tomorrow am I setting the alarm.

It mated with a flea. Now we have flice. It can jump 10' in any direction and stick to whatever it lands on with its hooked feet. I sense a movie coming.

I wonder if you've discovered a new breed of flying lice ?

Oh. No. Someone is going to google "flying lice" and find this post. They will see that a nurse said there is a new breed of flying lice. The hysteria will insue.

OMG- this is hilarious. Hilarious more so because it is happening to you and not me.

How did it escape the tape?!?!

I wish I knew. My new motto...One and Done.

I feel that way. I spent the rest of the day calculating the possibilities... Kiddo is not quite boob height, My hair is just past my shoulders so there was a good 8" at least of separation. But what if he got on my shirt & scurried up there?
