Head Lights

Being a lazy mom, my kids know how much I love to shop online. I would rather troll the internet than fight the crowds at any store. If I could grocery shop online I would be in heaven. So with that said here's my recent laugh for the day.

In our school system when a child in the classroom is sent home due to head lice the school sends a letter to each parent in that class letting us know along with a booklet on how to check your child and what to do if you discover your child also has lice. This happened the other day with Jackson. Here's how it went.

Jackson came off the bus quite excited and barely making it into the house to rip into his backpack to give me the information he had received.

Jackson:  Mom I have some important papers for you to read as he is handing me
                    the dreaded letter.

Me:            OK let me see

Jackson:  Someone in my class has "head lights" and they gave us a paper about it
.
Me:            Really, head light?

Jackson:  Yes (he's looking too excited)!. And here's a book about how we can get
                    them. Maybe you can get some of the online like the book orders.


Me:            Umm Jack it's not head lights it's head lice, little bugs in your hair that
                     bit you, kind of like fleas that dogs get.

Jackson:  Let me see that, "Head LLLiiiiccce", well I don't want that just forget it.

By this time I am trying very hard to suppress my laughter, but ordering head lice online is a little to aggressive even for me. So I think I'll just take my chances with the distribution at school and hope my kids never get so lucky.
