Every morning I face a battle.
It doesn’t need to happen.
In fact, there is a very clear winner of the battle.
And yet, there isn’t.
This battle is a constant one from September-June.
I want to let the winner win.
But that would lead to defeat inevitably.
So I take my hair tie
And I attack the mop on my head.
Because hair left down in kindergarten will almost definitely end up with lice.
There is too much lice that goes around! I should probably be more cautious like you are!

I have crazy curly hair and my peer told me to spray it all with hairspray! Although teaching the younger ones I don’t think lice is the only thing that ends up in the hair!

Haha not where I thought this was going!! I’ve taught this fear too many times this year. Luckily, I have won the battle so far. I hope you have the same luck!!

I shuddered when I read the end of your poem. Kindergarten teachers are the real MVPs for that alone.
