The kids mom thought this was an absurd reaction and vented about it online.
One day, the boy started scratching his head a lot and it turned out that he had lice.
So, the whole family usedNitwitsandcombingto get rid of the lice or prevent getting them from their family members.
At the same time, others, like the OPs husband, opt forshavingtheir head.
For the authors husband, there is another benefit of getting rid of lice he possibly might have had.
A few days later, the familys cleaner came and saw the change in the mansappearance.
She asked about it and he nonchalantly said that he shaved it because the kids had lice.
This made the cleaner freak out.
Apparently, she was scared to get infested herself.
While partially understanding the cleaners point of view, the OP also thought her reaction was absurd.
Well, many of the replies were more empathetic to the cleaner than the posts author was.
There are plenty of possible reasons why the cleaner might have reacted the way she did.
Still, we kind of understand herattitude, while understanding the authors too.
After all, it all sounds like one big miscommunication.
But since it makes for quite an entertaining story, we cant really complain too much, can we?
