A Note to Would-Be Room-Moms

We truly appreciate all you do to make our kids' experiences in school as good as they can be, but if you feel compelled to comb my child's hair on picture day, which is perfectly understandable, try to use a clean comb. We'd rather you take maybe 10 seconds to rinse out the comb, or possibly use a fresh one, than to spend a good part of Saturday morning cleaning lice out of our daughter's hair. Luckily, we caught it before any real damage was done and there appear to be none left in her hair now.
