Have you all had the chicken pox? I don't know if I told you all this but I recently had a test for it and turns out I have had it.

Now you're making me wonder how accurate those tests really are.

Yep, I had it when I was a kid. I remember being shipped to Grandma's so she could drown me in calamine lotion and put mittens on my hands so I wouldn't scratch.

i had it as a kid, probably around 10 years old. i didn't have too bad a case of it, mild enough that i was glad to have it because i could stay home from school and watch I Love Lucy and Love American Style but bad enough that it was obvious i had chicken pox.

See, that's what kids miss out on these days because of the vaccine!

I had the chicken pox when I was in 3rd grade. My sis had them at the same time, luckily. Neither of us got them really badly, but it definitely sucked! I definitely scratched them, and I didn't end up with any scars. My sister has a scar right between her eyes, which she never scratched :)

I have been told that I had a real mild case as a toddler.
