It took more than an hour to comb my whole head. Finally, Mom used the sink sprayer to rinse out my hair and then dried my head with a towel.

“How about some ice cream, boys?” she said.

“Yeah!” Harry blurted out.

Mom scooped chocolate and strawberry ice cream into cones for Harry and me.

As we were licking them in the kitchen, I was thinking how good it was to be home, and to have Harry over.

I decided that I was never returning to school.

And then the phone rang.

“It’s for you, Doug,” Mom said. “It’s Song Lee.”

I took the phone in my left hand because I had my ice-cream cone in the other.

“How’s it going?” Song Lee asked.

“Well, today’s treatment is done,” I said. “The doctor said we have to do one more in ten days just to be sure we didn’t miss a single live egg and have another round of lice start.”

“But the hard part is over,” she said.

“No,” I said. “The hard part is returning to school.”

“I know,” she said. “I wanted to go back to South Korea.”

“Well, I’m looking at Siberia.”

When we both laughed, Mom gave me a concerned look.

“Thanks for calling, Song Lee,” I said.

My mom patted me on the head as I hung up. “I’m taking you to school tomorrow, dear,” she said. “I want Mrs. Cherry to check your hair after our treatment today.”
