Chicken Pox

When my kids were small, their best buddies came down with chicken pox. Back in the day, the recommended advice from the docs was to let your kids hang-out with all their friends that had contracted chicken pox...the theory being that kids would get a milder case if they had direct exposure to another infected child......I think this was probably "hog wash", but all my friends agreed that this was the best idea they had ever heard of!!!

thanks for taking a look,

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
