I enjoyed having measles.

My mom bought me white p.j.s with red spots and all the neighbors came by to see them!

Back when you knew ALL your neighbors!

Yep...red measles, German measles ... and, typically a lifetime of immunity.

I parlayed my measles into a "parfait" from the Dairy Queen down the street. Just to seal the deal I folded a hot washcloth and put it on my head so that it would feel warmer when my Mom checked for fever.

I don't remember much about the measles, but that was the best parfait that I ever had!
