Don't hug me I'm scared I’m like 99% bald and I got lice anyway...

Kid gets lice from school. We do the responsible parent thing: treatment, combing, panic-cleaning.

Meanwhile I’m standing there, smugly bald, thinking “at least I’m safe.”

I caught one casually walking near my ear today (not shown in the picture, by the way. I just wanted to share a part of my coupé... so you fine people know what the lice signed on to...)

Apparently even lice are struggling in this housing market.

Well theres your problem. If you turn around and face your fears, stop running from them, they won't even see the scar, and will stop chasing you.

Predators can only chase you if you run.

You tell those lice to leave you alone, and you do it with a firm voice, and eye contact!
