I would not be a selfish child, for early was I taught– To give a part of all I had, as generous children aught, Not keeping everything myself, but sharing it with others, So when I had the whooping cough, I gave it to my brothers. Last winter we were kept at home, the doctor came each day. He had a sign outside the door to warn our friends away; No one might come to visit us, yet doing what I could, I gave my scarlet fever to half the neighborhood. And so it was with measles, and so with chickenpox– I gave them to my little friends on three surrounding blocks. And now that we are well again, it makes me laugh ha, ha– To think that when I had the mumps, I gave them to my Pa! - unknown ... only in my case... I gave my father chickenpox. In fairness, I'd gotten them from my sister. She started it! (as most younger siblings tend to do) I hope the most you ever have to deal with handling is the occasional sniffle. All the best to you and yours.
