Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I had terrible chickenpox. My father is a doctor and my mother is a nurse and they nearly took me to the hospital. Everything else major they had vaccines for when I was a kid.
My grandmother nearly died of chickenpox when she had it as an adult. (That was, I think, before penicillin even, never mind vaccines.)

Because books.
Yeah, chickenpox was awful. I had them down my throat, as well as everywhere else. I remember being home what felt like forever, and standing on the toilet so my mom could paint me with calamine. Not fun.
Jake had it right before the vaccine was widely accepted (or something? it seems so long ago), and got it at four. His case was pretty mild, thank goodness. But Ben and Sara were vaccinated.

Thrive to spite them
I had chicken pox in my early 20s it was horrible, I didn't have a ton of pox but the actual itching was just so bad. Mom finally called the doctor and they gave me a prescription for something.. i have no idea what it was, but it knocked me out and I pretty much slept through the rest of it. I can't imagine if I hadn't had the relief of sleeping.

That letter is made of pure fucking win, sumi.
I was born in '72, so the only thing I had was the chicken pox. And it wasn't a bad case and saved me from flunking geometry at the end of my sophomore year of high school, so I am rather grateful. YPathogenMV.

I had chicken pox and mumps and whooping cough. I remember the polio vaccine sugar cubes, and I've got two TB scars on my left arm. A while ago a younger friend suddenly looked puzzled and looked at the left arms of several of us (warmer weather, you could see our arms). "Why do you all have round scars on your arms??"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I was of the chickenpox only generation. When I got the chicken pox it was very mild, but for some reason adults in my family had never had it. I gave it to my mom, my uncle and my 16 year old cousin, who were all very ill, especially my mother.
