Barbie - The Head Lice Outbreak
Bye Chelsea
Bye
You're lucky you get dropped off at school
I have to walk
It's good exercise for you though
Well you can walk with me then
No way!
I'd be exhausted!
Let's get to class
(Scratching)
Why is my head so itchy...?
Hey guys, do you know where Madison is?
No
Haven't seen her
Well she's going to be late for class
(Bell!)
Strange...
Madison is never late
Morning girls, who's ready to learn some math?
Well don’t get too excited...
Miss Myers, can I speak to you about Madison
Madison?
I wonder what's wrong?
Maybe she's really sick
Or she's gone on vacation
Or maybe she's leaving the school!
I hope that...
Well girls, it looks like Madison has head lice
Head lice?
Yeah, those little insects that get stuck in your hair
Is Madison going to be alright, Miss?
She'll be fine, but...
I am going to have to send you all back home
Now?
You mean no math?!
That’s right
Woohoo!
Yippee!
We just want to make sure it doesn’t spread around the school
so we need you to ask that your parents check your head for lice
Yes Miss
(Scratching)
That is so itchy!
Thanks a lot Auntie Chelsea...
I was in the middle of watching PAW Patrol...
Well it’s not my fault
Poor Madison
I know, I would hate to have head lice
(Scratching)
That is so itchy!
(Screech!)
What?!
What’s itchy?
My head
It’s so annoying
Chelsea!
That’s probably because you have lice!
Oh no...!
So...?
Well you definitely have head lice
Oh great!
Can I get them too?
Yes, they can spread quickly from person to person
How do I get them out of my hair?
By using a special shampoo
I'll go to the shops now
Well hurry, please
These things are so itchy!
(Scratching)
Thanks so much for bringing the girls home, Georgia
You’re welcome
Bye girls
Bye
Thank you
Did you girls have a good day?
It was ok
(Slam!)
Just ok?
...and then Isabelle took so long doing her painting
Did not!
Auntie Chelsea?
Hi girls...
He, he, he...
What's that on your head?
It's just...
You look funny
He, he, he...
Chelsea has head lice
What’s that?
Little insects that get stuck in your hair
Oh...
Is it bad for you?
No, just very annoying because your head is itchy all the time
So itchy!
So why does Auntie Chelsea have that plastic wrap and..
Ohhh!
What's that smell?
It's not me
It's the special shampoo in my hair
That smells terrible!
Well hopefully it'll get rid of all those pesky lice
Ouch!
You pulled my hair!
Sorry!
Alright, let me see...
Hmmm...
Well?
It looks like they're all gone
Does your head feel itchy?
Ummm...
No!
It doesn't!
Thanks Barbie
You're welcome
Hopefully that’s the end of those little critters
What are you guys doing?
Playing a game
Can I play too?
You haven't got any more lice have you?
No
Well then sure!
Hop in
Hey!
How did you guys get up to level eight?
Well we are pretty good at this game
Geez!
I'm only on level three
Yes!
Level nine!
Oh!
(Scratching)
Why are you scratching your head?
Oh no!
I think they're back!
You're not bringing those things anywhere near us
Mummy, Auntie Chelsea has lice again
What?!
Oh, oh...
We have long hair, Isabelle!
Phew!
Well I think they're all gone now
You sure?
Barbie's pretty sure she got them all this time
Auntie Chelsea, it says here that people with long hair normally get lice
Oh, I didn't know that
Hmmm...
(Scratching)
Why are you scratching your head?
It's a bit itchy
And no, I don't have lice!
Ken, are you busy?
No
What's up?
Can you do me a favour...?
(Scratching)
Oh!
Now my head's itchy
(Slam!)
I think mine's more itchy that yours
What are you two whispering about?
Ummm...
Isabelle has smelly breath, so I was telling her to clean her teeth
I do not!
Ta-daaa!
Chelsea?
Do you like it?
Why did you cut your hair?!
The twins said that people with long hair mostly get lice, so...
No, anyone can get lice
It doesn't matter how short your hair is
What?!
Ahhh...
Before you get angry, there's one thing we want to say
What?
Run!
Mmmm...!
We must have lice
You don’t think I know that?!
I'm not saying anything though
Why not?
Because I don't want that smelly shampoo in my hair,
and what if we have to cut our hair too!
Fine, I won't say anything...
But if Mummy finds out, I'm taking you down with me
Spot and Mum are going for...
Wait!
Wait for me!
Tommy, there's not enough room in here for you
We can make room
Thanks!
(Scratching)
What's wrong with your head?
Nothing
I...
err...
just bumped my head
Me too
Alright, Spot and Mum are going for a swim in the swimming pool
Which one is Spot?
The little one, Tommy
Oh yeah
Tom and his Mum are there too
"Hello Tom!", says Spot
They look like crocodiles
Are they crocodiles, Mummy?
Tommy!
Are you going to talk for every page?
I'm just asking...
Where is Mummy?
I don't know!
Don't have to yell...
Sorry, but my head is just so itchy!
Mummy's here!
Stop itching!
Sorry I'm late girls
Where were you?
Owww!
I can't take this anymore!
Me either!
But I’m not putting that stuff in my hair!
Well how else are we going to get rid of them
Well...
Get rid of what?!
Oh...
Ahhh...
You have lice, don’t you?!
What makes you say that?
Girls...!
Yes, we have them...
Isabelle!
I told you I was taking you down with me
When did you start scratching your head?
Ummm...
Yesterday...
Well I wanted to tell you straight away
Why you little...
Well this is just great!
My hair is going to be smelly for a week!
We’ll how do you think I feel?!
The office is not going to put up with my smelly hair
Your hair!
Mine is ruined!
How long do I have to leave this stuff in my hair?!
Another half an hour, Tommy
Thanks a lot girls...
Blame Auntie Chelsea, not us
Well I’m just glad we didn’t pass these lice onto anyone else
My head’s itchy
Oh ohhh...
(Ringing)
Hello?
Barbie, it’s Georgia
Hi Georgia
Giselle has head lice and I think she got it from the preschool
I just wanted to know if she got it from one of your girls?
Head lice?
No, no head lice here
