All I didn't really need to know I learned in the first three weeks of kindergarten:
1. If the teacher says it, then It Is So. "Mommy, we can eat that brown stuff on the apple. It's just from air."
2. There is a fish called a wrasse that specializes in cleaning the teeth of other fish by swimming into their mouths and eating leftover food. Yum!
3. "Dear Parents: We have had a case of head lice reported in your child's classroom ... "

Lice already! Sheesh!
Already? It's not even winter hat time yet. Ick.
Oh no! I was at the drugstore the other day, and they had a big display of lice ridding medicine right at the prescription pick-up - and I thought to myself, I guess that's because school's open...
ewwww.
i meant the fish, but the lice too.
ah, school. the parasites must love September.
Rock on kindergarten!
I get a near daily chuckle at all the things I know she knows but comes home KNOWING because the teacher said it.

Lice? Ick-ity, ick!
Haven't gotten the lice message yet, but within the first two weeks of school we got TWO separate xeroxed notes from the school nurse, one warning of a general stomach virus going around, the second letting us know that there was a serious, vomiting-blood, go to the ER stomach virus on the rampage. Charming.
Lice! Oh, no! I live in fear of lice. I hope that the infestation is self-limited.
I'm itching just thinking about it!
Ah, ain't school grand? So how many sheets have you laundered thus far?
Argh! This week my note said "Today we sent a child home with a highly contaigous case of ringworm."
Good times. How many times have you checked their heads? Be honest..
Yep. We got our "head lice alert" last week. I knew when I walked in the building and all the stuffed animals were in plastic bags.
Poor Maggie cries every time I comb her hair now becasue I'm using the really, really fine tooth-comb.
Strangely enough, one little boy came to school on Monday sporting a new, close cropped do... coincidence?
Oh lawd! Lice never seem to go away. Ewww.
Oh that sucks, especially for a girl. I remember the vinegar shampoos and fine tooth combs and loads and loads of laundry that my mom had to do when we were exposed as kids. I swear, if Myles ever gets them, I'm shaving his head.
Ha! Sounds like your life has been fun :)
ooof! made my head itch just to read it!
Love the wrasse pun!
And Declan's daycare had a lice AND chickenpox scare over the summer. I was running for Kindergarten where so far it's just been the common cold.
