Well today we reached a parenting rite of passage. The dreaded head-lice. I came out of a funeral meeting to a voicemail from nursery suggesting I might like to pick some stuff up as they had seen some eggs on Big bro’s head. In Tesco, feeling a bit overwhelmed at all the options, I text my lovely neighbour asking if she had a comb we could borrow as they’d run out (plus a P.S. sorry if we’ve passed on the nits text!) Turns out the combs come in the boxes with the treatment but once you’ve got school aged kids you’ve probably got a treatment stash so we borrowed what we needed and got to work. I’d tried to explain to Big bro on the way home what we were going to be doing. We ended up talking about the bugs who’d created a city in his hair. He paused and said, ‘this is pretend though?’ Sadly not buddy. So, as we combed and removed the little blighters (not just eggs 🤢) he named each one. Julia, Julian, David, Annie, Pete, [Big bro], [Little bro].... the eggs were Seth, Erin & Miles, and then he asked to keep them. When I explained he couldn’t he got very sad that I’d destroyed their city (a bit like Joshua and the battle of Jericho 😂 except no one is moving in to this promised land of hair). @petewillmot and I have combed our hair. I’ve found none but I am seriously itchy now. I have so many childhood memories of having my hair combed with conditioner to check for nits and now I’m at the other end of the comb. Parenthood is full of fun jobs.
A little thinking out-loud on my blog today. Anyone else feel like their mind is full of never-ending thoughts to process and things to do? Link in my bio if you fancy a read.
