Patience? Is she a nun or something?

I have photos of my kids on my desk.
Some years ago (when they were cute) a woman passed my desk and commented:
"Oh what cute kids! Are they yours?"
What kind of a stupid fUcking question is that? I then realised it was often asked, so my stock answer became:
"No. No idea who they are, but they're Gorgeous aren't they" (accompanied by a strange knowing smile).
Freaks 'em every time.

a friend of mine had this happen to her. Her response was "why no, these pictures came with the frame"

I had chicken pox too. The only vaccinations I know for sure I got, were smallpox and polio.
Then again, my brothers brought every damn thing home from school with them, so I got exposed to a lot of stuff before I would have been vaccinated anyway.
I think my mom was more worried about allergic reactions than anything as esoteric as autism, though.

I was the plague carrier for chicken pox in my family. All the cousins caught it after I got it, and several families sent their kids over to play with me while I had it--vaccinating the old fashioned way!
I haven't done enough research into the subject to really know for sure what I'm going to do yet, but it's quite possible I'll choose to vaccinate the upcoming kidlet on a delayed schedule. That's one of my projects over the next few months is to dig a little deeper into the subject and find the arguements for and against delayed vaccinations. Don't think I'll skip altogether, though, if for no other reason than the headaches is can cause with school enrollment and whatnot.
Ugh, my littlest brother caught chicken pox at shcool and ended up giving it to my other brother and I. I would have so rather have had a vaccine (my mother swears we had it). It's just not fun to get Chicken Pox at the age of ten and still have the scars when you are in your early teens.

I was in the third grade and didn't scar, so I don't remember it being all that traumatic. The worst part about it was that I had a very prominent role in our class Christmas play and was diagnosed two days before the actual play. So not only did I not get to be in the play, but I was struggling with it all through the holidays when I wanted to be out playing in the snow, and was just feeling too punk to really enjoy the pressies.
I'm not sure there even was a vaccination when I was young enough to get one. I think it's a recent thing.
the second time I got chicken pox started with my then 4 yr old brother getting them an hour before my seventh birthday party. We had to wait outside, let people know he had them. All but one ended up staying anyways in the hopes that my friends would get it. Almost 1/3 of the entire second grade class got chicken pox at the same time. We had fun comparing our scars =)

I adopted my two boys (my husband is their biological father) and the comment I always get is "You adopted them? But they look so much like you! They look nothing like their father!" Not sure how that happened. I just smile and say thank you and go on my merry way.
Well they do look much more like you than him, but then all brown-skins look the same to me.
