Vaccinate. Your. Kids. I got to spend my 1st Father's Day with my 8 month old daughter fighting Chicken Pox. She's too young for the vaccine.

Poor thing! My daughter got them at 9 months old, a few months before the vaccine came out. I remember that she spent a lot of time in the bathtub as well. Chicken pox can be miserable.

It's really annoying having shingles at 28 and being told there isn't a vaccination for people under 50.

edit: I am also forever grateful that it was on my torso and not my face.

edit2: also glad it wasn't in my ear, on my taint, or anywhere else like some of the replies to this comment. yikes.

Poor kid! I was unlucky as hell as a kid, I actually didn't develop full immunity until a third bout of chicken pox.

I actually knew it well enough that I made the teacher excuse me with "I got chicken pox again."

"You can't get it twice, <me>"

"Third time."

She sent me. Sure enough...
