Chicken Pox, what a crock these days...
Some kid at my daughters school had chicken pox last week and then sent home a note warning us all about it and reminding us the the pox-shot is now mandatory. But the catch to the vaccination is that it only lasts so long. So now all these kids will be getting the pox as adults rather than kids.
Back in my day, my parents had "pox parties". As soon as a kid in the neighborhood had it we all were sent over there to play which took care of that issue toot-sweet.
Fortunately I used my parents remedy before the shot was required and both the kids have had it.
