A Pox On My House

The fucking chicken pox.

I think I have them, only I had them in 1987.

And I cried then too.

No, no, no. I need everyone to wait and catch chicken pox next year so I can expose the baby.

Is it maybe shingles? I had that happen as a teen, it’s like chicken pox part deux that is isolated to a smaller spot.

You had the Pox the year I was born. How cool is that?

Yeah, are you sure it’s not shingles? I had shingles a few years ago and it’s not something to be taken lightly. I’d get it checked if it were me.

It is possible to have them twice. My kids did. Since they were vaccinated, they had a more mild case. I, otoh, got shingles. Can I overnight you some soup?

And I think I had them in 1987, too — how coincidental! Except, yes, I was older than 17, so again, the coolness has left the building. So sorry to hear it Jess! I was sick as a DOG when I was 25, and if I’d had the strength, I would have tried to infect small children, because they don’t get it as bad as we adults do. And — when you’re feeling better, you should see if you’re some kind of medical test case since you’ve had them twice!
