Lice And Boyfriends

Lice. I didn't even have head lice. But somehow mommy saw "nits" in my hair and the next thing I knew I was standing in the bathroom pouring clear liquid on my hair. The smell was horrible. I think I got some in my mouth...I had to stand there in that four-by-three space naked for ten minutes to remove those nonexistent pests. My sister tried to walk in, so as a reflex I pushed it back not realizing it would scrape her feet and yet again the older sibling gets in trouble. I thought it would be fine to put normal shampoo on my hair...another mistake. And all I could think about was that my boyfriend hadn't called me for three days. She threw away my brushes. All six of them. Those little lice combs are hell. They pulled out remnants of shampoo, but she swore they were eggs. Finally my sore scalp was relieved by the interruption of a phonecall, no not my boyfriend..my mom's. She doesn't claim so yet (waiting for the divorce). I get in trouble again for making a remark. It was cold. There was almost no heat in her room, and all the beds' sheets were stripped. I was alone with my little sister and a waterbed. I think there's a similarity between lice and boyfriends, they both forget to call and just want to use your body for a little while.
