that’s a little weird

September 16, 2008 By: ArchPundit Category: Uncategorized

Yes, that’s an understatement:

Megan Cummins, a shiatsu therapist from Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood, said that at one party her children hesitated to share a drink box with the infected toddler, who had a runny nose and was covered in spots.

“My kids were sort of repulsed,” Cummins said. She said her two older children attended three parties but never got infected. She still hopes to get them infected, but said that at times the parties felt awkward.

“Once I realized I was driving to Oak Park from Hyde Park to be at a complete stranger’s house and share their germs—that’s a little weird,” she said.

    All it took was 2nd grade for me… the germs spread like wildfire and hit just about every kid in the class. That was miserable.

    Sure, Rob, but most people opt for the vaccine now. We did with our son, and our daughter, who is 3 1/2, will probably get it shortly. It’s hard to find someone who actively has pox.
