#3 They were doing this when I was about six...that's a long time ago.

If you are opposed to vaccinations, controlling when Junior gets the mumps is not a bad idea.

#6 We warned the manager of a complex we lived in that one of the kids had chickenpox. She told us not to worry--she'd been taken to several of those when young, and climbed all over her sick little brother--she was immune.

She wasn't. Adults get it harder.
