Boil That Hippo

Trying to convince six year old "Star of the Week," that the class room stuffed pet that came home simultaneously with yet another lice outbreak notice in the classroom, needs to be boiled.

This classroom has been dealing with the lice for three months now. Five alerts this school year, you evil mothereffin parents that keep send lousy kids to school with da vermin!

I try to figure out the source by asking Li'l Man who was absent.

We have never had lice in this family.

Scouty willing, we never will.

Maybe can we flea dip the fucking hippo?

Li'l Man resists...

I will bend him to my will. The scrappy bit is also quite stanky as well and sure to have the dreaded pink eye. Can't teachers have class pets made out of hypoallergenic, antibacterial, hard surface materials. You know. Like this:

So Cuddly. The girls would love it.

I hate those little bastards. Both my kids have had them in the past, twice. I hate them!
Definitely wash the hippo. Your hottest water setting and put it in the dryer on the hottest setting.

This is going around AGAIN in the kinder grades.

I feel like shaving all their heads at once and being done with it! I can't even imagine how the teachers feel.

Uggh.. I was a preschool teacher for 15 years and have seen my fair share of lice....ewwww


The problem is that those parents are not doing everything they should be... cleaning the car, couch, bedding, putting all stuffed animals & couch pillows in a garbage bag.

I have seen it all, from Parents shaving their daughters head in frustration to seeing Lice in a kids eyelashes... gross
