when i was in kindergarten there was a breakout of lice and all the parents were given letters to tell them how to get rid of them. i asked my mum one day what lice were and she told me that they were small animals that lived on your hair. i got scared then because i imagined that there were small giraffes, small elephant and all the other animals living on my hair!
