Your invited… May 8, 2009

I love a good party, just as much as the next gal…but this is taking it a tad far.  Chicken pox is a somewhat common occurrence and it wasn’t until the 90’s that we had a vaccination for it.  In the good old days kids got the pox and dealt with it.  We wanted to scratch and sometimes we did and we have the scars to prove it.  Well, now they have a vaccine and children everywhere are spared the embarrassment and inconvenience that only a good case of the chicken pox can provide.  You don’t want to get this disease when you are older, because it can be very harmful and sometimes even deadly.  Somewhere in suburbia a group of mothers decided that it was better to get the disease and be immune for life, rather than vaccinate and take a chance on getting a mild case in later years.  There solution?  Hold a chicken pox party.  Johnny has the pox?  Send him over!  Invite your friends!  Everyone will be infected before you know it!  That’s one evite I would have to ignore.
