When I was a kid, Mumps was one of the childhood diseases where, if one kid got them, the mothers would gather their kids together and have some Mumps parties to “get it out of the way”....
Yes , quite true, especially when kids are young, generally in grammar school.

When mothers were home to do that. What do we subject our children to today so that mum doesn’t have to miss work...?
Can you get it again if you had it already?
Had it back in 1969.
That was pretty dumb.
