Life in Paris is not all champagne and chocolates. If you don't speak French, the one word I will translate for you from the above is poux: lice. With that, you should be able to figure out the rest.

About Me
For a long time, we were just another typical Washington, DC family: two policy-oriented jobs, two kids, and two cars. Out of the blue, my husband got a new assignment; we ditched the old jobs and the cars (but kept the kids) and headed to Paris for what started out to be a three-year, and eventually became a four-year tour.

Yuck.
I have phantom itches now.
I don't think there is a school in Canada that doesn't experience at least one lice case in winter. Sad truth here as well!
So funny... my son had lice when we lived in France. I was so freaked out, but the pharmacist was so calm...they even had a children's book titled "Mes Poux".
