I had the measles when I was a baby; don't remember the specifics.
I got the pox back in '81, had to spend a week home from school, but for me it was a much needed vacation. I was in LBD and had this old, witchy teacher that I didn't like at all (Mrs. Gaskill, or Gasbutt, as I nicknamed her) who made my life a living hell. So staying home for a week was GREAT. Game shows in the morning, reading my Weekly Reader books in the afternoon, it was all good. BTW, two other classmates came down with the pox the same time I did.
Speaking of tetanus, that reminds me that I am due for that 10 year booster shot (YAY!
).
