The Little Nuisance

Remember when we were little, when we were first sent to primary schs to attend proper classes, most of us uttered "yeeeee ... kutu", at least once. Why is it that this kutu fever is so wide spread in schools back then? Of course hygiene plays a part in this, but how did it happen in the first place?! We have absolutely no idea who started the "outbreak" in schools. (of course, by the time you spotted that someone has been attacked by the K creature, check yours, you're probably Gotcha-ed by the Ks already...)

There are certain race of people whom we often assume the notorious K originated from (read: the Source). Subconsciously, we're all racists back then, not generally, of course (forgive us, we're just 7 year olds - and knew nothing about racism). Only when it comes to certain issues such as the K problem. We were racists, fellow Conventians... Simply hard to swallow. But I guess all of us eventually grew up to love the company of people from other races that made up us Malaysians.

Back to the point.
Not to forget the tedious part of exterminating these little creepy crawlies...
The thorough combing, the squashing (eeks!), and the medicament used.. ugh. Not to mention the smell and how greasy it is.. (the medicament is easily obtained from any government hospitals..for the minimum of charges or FREE)

You'll never know how far imagination can take you..
The thought of it crawling everywhere around your head, into your ears (gasps!), onto your pillows and sheets, scavenging around, feeding on your scalp *pukes*

I'm getting goosebumps by the loads just writing a piece about it. Here's why.

I wonder if kids these days still face the same problem. Nightmare.

p/s: Paris Hilton can sing. No doubt. I guess promoting yourself as a dumb blonde pays off. No dumb person can make it big in every field you choose to get involve. Initially it only attracts all the wrong kind of attention, all the wrong news in tabloids and magazines and all the wrong perceptions, all the wrong labels. Guess she makes alot of people chew and swallow their words about her? Heh. This is the best trick ever.
