I got the chicken pox first. I was in the first grade (I think). I remember feeling a little sick the night ebfore and going to bed early. When I woke up the next morning, I had a lot all over me. Mom and Dad had to let me stay home from school.
I know it's silly but I felt so special getting the chicken pox first. Grammy brought some balloons and a present that Dad brought home early from work that Dad. Then, Mom, Dad and I drove down to the river and went fishing. This is the only time I really remember fishing at the river. We caught a fish and I must have been so excited that e kept it. I remember bringing that fish home and putting it in the freezer. A few months later I remember Mom getting out the fish and asking me if it was ok if she threw it away. I must have meant A LOT to me.
The worst part is that Mom and Dad only wanted to go through the chicken pox once, for a short period of time. So...they had me breath all over Lindsey, Ben and Lesley. Sorry, but I must have breathed harder on Lindsey and Ben because they got the chicken pox BAD! Lesley probably had like 5 total pox.
Lindsey, Ben and Lesley had the chicken pox on Lesley and my birthday so Lesley and I could only invite friends to sleep over that had already had the chicken pox.
Can you believe our kids will never get the chicken pox? The wonders of modern medicine.
