I had them. UGH! it was horrid. I had a girl threatening to tell the whole class. I was 5 so it was a huge deal. Weirdly when I got into the senior school they went suddenly :O

Eeeeewww, lice. I got it at summer camp when I was little, and it was so horrible (although I was finally allowed to get my very hated long hair chopped off to make it easier to deal with). We went on vacation right after, and all I can remember of that is that every chance she got, my mother would make me stop having fun so she could pick through my hair. Not fun!
