Not Rocket Science!

Yesterday I pick up the kids from school and Jack flops into the backseat of the truck and says "Mom, today our teacher did something REALLY bad." Great. Do I want to take this conversation any further? No. I'd rather bury my head in the sand. But we head down this path anyway. He goes on to explain that before pictures (yesterday was school picture day), the teacher pulled out a comb (singular) and combed EVERYONE'S hair with it. Okay, here's where we just breeze right past the fact that I've probably created a little monster with my germophobia issues and move directly to the REAL issue at hand - is she nuts? Certifiably insane? She's a TEACHER for crying out loud - fairly well-versed in the world of lice, one would think. Doesn't everyone know that you aren't supposed to share combs? Especially in a school, amongst kids?? I already had a problem with everyone using the same batter's helmet in baseball (don't worry, I didn't embarass my kids or my husband - kept my mouth shut on that one), but this is a comb! In school! Used on 23 (or more - who knows - ?) kids!! Uggh. I calmly resisted the urge to dump bleach on their heads and instead scrubbed their noggins with regular shampoo, which I know won't do any good if the damage was already done, but at this point it was all pyschological. I haven't heard of any outbreaks this year, so I'm sure we're in the clear, but the stupidity of it all just kills me. Hellllooooo - ????

Anyway, Happy Friday!
