🇬🇧🇪🇸 lice - piojos : English Lesson
noun
“Oops, the video you wanted took a vacation. Here’s a random one that didn’t!”
Meaning of "lice" ("piojos"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.
Lice are tiny bugs that live in hair on your head, drink a little bit of your blood, and make your scalp very itchy, but they don’t mean you’re dirty and they can be removed with special shampoo and lots of combing.
I told the lice, “Rent is due,” then slammed the shampoo on my head like an eviction notice.
Mom said, “Don’t share hats,” but my friend’s lice heard, “Free new apartment!”
When the nurse said, “You have lice,” my hair suddenly felt itchier than a sweater made of mosquito bites.
The lice probably brag to each other, “I live on the top floor—right behind the left ear!”
Head lice actually like clean hair, so getting them doesn’t mean you’re dirty—it just means the tiny bugs picked a very nice place to live.
At night she felt something crawling in her hair. In the mirror she saw lice, tiny lice moving like black dots. She scratched, cried out, and her sister rushed in. They combed and washed until lice came out into the sink, then fewer lice, then the last lice fell away. She exhaled, relieved.
