So here are 16 things that go through your head when your kid get’s lice:

1. Nooooooo!!! No, no, no, no, no! Oh, please, NOOOOOOO!
2. Oh my gawd, I’m so itchy.
3. Aghhhh, I’m itchy. I must have lice too. I swear I can feel them crawling all over me! They are eating me alive.
4. Okay, calm down it’s just lice. They are gross, but you can handle this. You got this.
5. Maybe, it’s not really lice. Maybe it’s just some kind of funky shaped dandruff. I mean I don’t really see anything that looks like…
6. Ewww, nope, it’s totally lice.
7. Okay, let’s buckle down and smother these lice and then get down to some serious nitpicking.
8. Pinche piojos (if you are Mexican)! Freakin’ lice (if you’re not Mexican)!
9. Why? Why my kid? I have enough to do without having to exterminate my kid’s head.
10. Frack! The lice are probably covering the entire house. I have to wash everything. It might be easier to just move and let the lice keep this place.
11. How the heck am I supposed to get this nit comb through my kid’s hair? It’s like a torture device, like a comb of nails.
12. Stay calm. Stay calm. It’s enough that your kid is screaming, you don’t have to scream too. You can do this.
13. ARRRRGHHHHHHH! I can’t do this.
14. I did it. I did it. I rid my kid of lice. I never want to do that again. Please, don’t make me do that again.
15. I’m totally gonna have to do that again, aren’t I?
16. I better put this nit comb somewhere safe.
