The Pox

My daughter has chicken pox. Not a bad thing to get it when you’re 4-years-old of course. She was a bit hot and drowsy at first and off her food, but now she’s fine, playing away, and her rash is very mild so far. I got it when I was 17, the day of my History Higher exam, which I sat with a temperature of over 102 degrees. The next day I felt ill, was covered in spots from head to foot, couldn’t sit my Latin, and was off school for two weeks.
