My niece sent her kids over to my sister's house knowing they had head lice and didn't say ANYTHING to my sister. My sister found out when she took the kids to get their hair cut.
WTF? Who does that to someone?

Holy shit, Cash. That's awful!
One if my students emailed me to say she's home getting treated for head lice a few days ago, and I haven't been able to stop scratching my head since.

My sister called me half insane. She's so mad at my niece (and who could blame her). The kids have it at least once or twice a year because they keep getting infected by their cousins. My sister had to deal with it once when her stepson got it at preschool but finding out that my niece knew they had it (and had treated the kids the day they left) and still sent them over there was just too much for her.
Niece is going to get an earful when my sister takes the kids home and they won't be welcome back until my niece can assure her they've been treated and are completely lice-free.
Ugh. My head's itching just thinking about it.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I do not understand that behavior. I mean, I didn't go back east with Matt partly because I didn't want to bring my germs to my MIL. Lice -- that is a pretty obvious choice.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Head lice are a good reason to be black. They don't like our heads as much.

My brother and I never got lice, which is a freaking miracle considering the elementary school came down with it almost every year.
Someone else at the party is also going to the Inaug. They got MARC tickets, leaving at 6:30 and not heading back until 8:30. Yikes. I'm researching alternate driving routes because already the highway boards are predicting doom and gloom on 495....
