Hey folks,
Today's story is a short one but kinda on the sad side. My mom was such an organized person that she always planned our holidays with trips and activities: especially trips to the doctors. She never wanted us to miss any school so on Easter Monday, or Thanksgiving Friday or even during Christmas break, we all had appointments to the dentist/eye doctor/gen. physician, etc. One time....my sister found out that she was getting her tonsils out during the Christmas break! Ouch.....Merry Christmas to her!
Well.....this particular Christmas, the unexpected happened. Tina and Tami both came down with the MUMPS at the same time. Needless to say....Christmas Eve and Day wasn't as fun as it usually is. They were miserable, trying to open gifts with their swollen chipmunk cheeks. They tried to smile in pictures but it was a " wish I was in the bed " look. Poor things....I felt so sorry for them. But, in all honesty, I was really glad it wasn't me. Good thing....I had already had the mumps years before them.
Really glad that mumps is not a childhood rite of passage anymore.
