My Mom told me that when she was a kid when a neighbor kid got the measles, all the other moms in the neighborhood would bring their kids in to get exposed. That way they all got it over with at once.
I think South Park did an episode along those lines...one of the kids got chicken pox, and right away, all the other moms brought their kids over, so that they would all also get chicken pox, and get it over in one big swoop...did not really watch the episode, for some reason or another, but I do think that was the jist of it..

This was an episode of South Park (except it was chicken pox)
