I was a weird kid. With 6 in my family and me being the youngest intil my sister was born, my mom would throw me into bed to sleep with whoever had chicken pox, mumps etc. I never got any of them. Until the ripe old age of 17 when I finally got the mumps. Be grateful you were little. Now, whenever measles or chicken pox go around, I hold my breath in fear. I can imagine how I would look at 50!

my brother had chicken pox SOOO bad! he had them on the bottom of his feet and in his mouth! i didn't know they could get in your mouth...he had to crawl to the bathroom on his hands and knees. it was dreadful. my case was much milder. my body takes a long time to fight stuff off, but i never get taken down too far. thank god(s)!
