hey mom, why did God create head lice?
Thank you Lord that you have spared (so far) my children (and me for that matter) from this horrible little thing called head lice. Yes, as with any school across america, we have had several cases of headlice at our elementary. I scratch my head as I type! Anyway, Madison and I were grocery shopping tonight while the guys were at basketball practice. We were just talking when she brought up a conversation she overheard me have with her teacher. It was about a couple of kids in her class who were sent home because of lice. I didn't want to disclose any names, but I just told her that a couple kids had lice and it gave me a chance to let her know to keep her winter hat, etc. in her bag when not in use. Anyway, she starts to ask me why God created head lice and was it because Adam and Eve sinned! I was cracking up inside. She on the other hand was dead serious. Madi thought when we got home that we should look up headlice in the bible to see when and why God created them. "What good are those nasty things, anyway", she says! Wow, I was speechless! Kids say the greatest things sometimes!

Ohhhh, I now know how that feels....we also have been spared, but have gotten a few letters sent home about someone having it in Austin's class. It was actually the first week of school (a few since then too and a scabies letter)....honestly, I cried. I had my traumatic experience as a kid and I'd rather not have one as a parent. :) It's a good question to ask God, I'll be glad to know the answer to that one too.
Oh Tami- LOL! That is too cute- and glad you have been spared. I miss you. Hope to see you soon.:)
