Oh, headlice. I've had them many times. Some people seem to be unusually susceptible - every time they went through my classroom at school I would catch them, and others never did. The last time was in college - I think I picked them up from one of my campers at Girl Scout camp, and then they took forever to get rid of. But, for example, I don't think my brother ever had lice.

I am living in a fantasy dream world where Alex will never, ever get them. I can't imagine fine-combing her hair.
