You know what sounds like a whole lot of fun? A lice outbreak at a daycare center! Just imagine the fun and games that little discovery would lead to . . . there's the joy of having to bring in a nurse to check all the kids and teachers, the exciting need to wash every single blankie and cot, the fun chore of washing every stuffed animal and putting it into a plastic bag, the pleasure of calling the infected kids' parents to pick them up, and the overwhelming enjoyment found in writing a letter to all the other kids' parents.

Not to worry, our kid doesn't have enough hair to provide a comfortable hiding place for the little bugs. But I bet there are a whole lot of teachers that can't stop itching their heads tonight.
