And as for my wife … she just had surgery and was put on blood pressure medication that has numerous side effect. Number 2 most common side effect: An itchy scalp (I’m not kidding).
Ultimately it was CoVid-19 that was the reason it took us 2 weeks to detect it. Four adults and two kids cooped up in a single household was a pressure cooker of discontent even when we can go outside at will. But with the quarantine in effect, you can imagine we all wanted to be on our best behaviour.
No one complained … much. We knew these were extreme circumstances and we tended to keep our bitching to things we could change. As a result … the three infected just kept it to themselves until one day the itching grew to an unbearable frenzy.
Shaving our heads was a blast. It’s been awhile since I laughed so hard … and as memorable as I’m sure CoVid-19 will be, it will forever be overshadowed by the time we got lice and, as a family, shaved our heads.
Peace fellow humans. No doubt this situation is terrible. But just because it’s terrible, doesn’t mean it has to suck. (And if you’re reading this when Coronavirus is a distant memory … well, I hope my plight of lice put a smile on your face!)

Author Notes Michael Anderle

THANK YOU for reading our story!
We have a few of these planned, but we don’t know if we should continue writing and publishing without your input.
Options include leaving a review, reaching out on Facebook to let us know and smoke signals.
Frankly, smoke signals might get misconstrued as low hanging clouds so you might want to nix that idea…
I don’t cut hair… (And I’ve never had lice, so don’t know anything about that.)
I used to have long hair when I was in college. It was that ‘you aren’t in your parents’ home, I can have long hair and an earring’ time during the 1980’s. I shared this rejection of authority by growing my hair long, using hair bands while riding motorcycles.
Yes, I listened to heavy metal and had a Kawasaki EX500… They called it a sport-tourer, I called it fun and thankfully not the death of me.
It was the closest thing to sexy I ever had in my notoriously geek life. Except for something recently in the last five years, but that doesn’t count.
I’m married. Owning sexy stuff while married takes the sexy out of it. I’ve lived through the young-family-has-a-van-to-drive days and now I’m in the older-life-kids-out-of-the-house-can-afford-more-expensive-toys days.
Back in the 80’s, my hair got long enough that when I rode, I had to use a hair band or rubber band (which HURTS like an SOB trying to get it out of the hair) or spend twenty minutes cussing as I tried to pull a hairbrush through the tangles if I forgot.
I still flinch to this day thinking about pulling the hairbrush through my hair. I am empathetic to any dogs when you have to comb them and they have tangles. I try my best to keep away any pain.
Today I like to wear my hair much shorter because it takes less time to dry.
With the Pandemic, and not haircutting barbershops or anything available, I am trying new ways to style it.
Not very successfully mind you. I’m married, I only have one person to impress and she is usually looking at me strange. This would be a typical discussion.
Wife: “What is that hairstyle called?”
Me: “Keep it the @#%@# out of my face.”
Wife: “… looks nice.”
Well, she SAID looks nice. Her rolling eyes proclaimed she meant something else.
Ad Aeternitatem,
Michael Anderle
