Linda’s SoCS prompt…
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “the first 3 words of the first full sentence.” Okay, follow me here. This is what I want you to do: 1. Grab the closest book to you when you sit down to write your post. 2. Open it to a random page. 3. Locate the first complete sentence on that page. 4. Use the first three words of that sentence to start your post, then take it from there–write whatever comes to mind. That’s it! Have fun!
He scratches his head self-consciously. It always happens. The moment a child in class is known to have nits or lice, then the urge to itch hits…
He knows it is a peril of the job, but what can he do?
That girl was sitting, scratching like no one’s business, and the moment he got close enough, he could see them swarming around her her scalp.
He’d held himself together, not like the teaching assistant who he’d called over to confirm what he thought. She retched upon seeing the movement on her head.
Right, he thought. Off to phone the parents. And to tell the school office. Another nit letter needs to go out.
The class parents will be thrilled!
