Had the mumps when I was six...never forget it...sick as a dog I was. Mom did not know and sent us to school, (went to Catholic school), it was during Holy Week and I was so sick I was holding my rosary upside down. Sister Bridget beat the snot out of me for doing that...I was so sick I didn't even care. Have since been re-vaccinated because of nursing school.
Someone here wrote about the Hmong. You need to read the book The Spirit
Moves Me and I Fall Down...fabulous read!!
