This is my son Griffin, and he may have measles.

Wow. And did you catch chicken pox? I had chicken pox in the early 80s. It was a not awesome experience.

I got to give my sister chickenpox. It was one of my best experiences as a child.

That was back before the vaccine though, when you wanted to get em done while you were young.

I woke up one Christmas morning with chicken pox. Worst Christmas ever!! I also had Whooping Cough. My brother gave me that.

Before we gave the kids the vaccine I had a lot of questions. Chickenpox wasn't that bad and I was concerned they would get it as an adult. After talking to the doctor and researching on my own I had no issues with it.

My immune system was shot from those damn e-cigs.

Wait, what?

"E-cigarette vapor alone produced mild effects on the lungs, including inflammation and protein damage," Sussan explained. "However, when this exposure was followed by a bacterial or viral infection, the harmful effects of e-cigarette exposure became even more pronounced. The e-cigarette exposure inhibited the ability of mice to clear the bacteria from their lungs, and the viral infection led to increased weight loss and death indicative of an impaired immune response.”

Good lord, it's always something. But I have said several times that since I quit smoking all the time (and have been vaping) I've been sick more. This might explain that.
