Here's how I spell dumb ass; parents who take their sick, infected children to every public spot they possibly can before they lose their effectiveness as an infective agent of swine flu or the more politically correct, H1N1.Today in the news there have been stories everywhere about parents actually hosting "pox parties" for the swine flu. Now, if you're not familiar with what pox parties are, they're actually an interesting bit of history.
Of course, experts are discouraging parents from participating in such "foolishness". I must concur, you really don't need to organize a party to accomplish infection. Just go to your local Safeway, don't wipe down the cart, and encourage your children to lick their hands. Very simple really.
My recommendation during this time of madness is to curl up with a good book or two. Here are some that won't really help take your mind off this "pandemic" but they are interesting nonetheless.
Lisa,
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there was a name for it, but I first learned of something like this when my children's pediatrician mentioned it to me. He told me that parents actually call the office frequently wanting to know if any patients have chicken pox, etc. so they can bring their children in for exposure. What? I can see the point and sense that you would like them to get it and get through it, but I would rather it happen naturally or not at all. Also, I don't think I would take too kindly having my child used in that manner while they're sickly and in pain. Note to self: decline invitation to the Swine Flu pox party.
Also, that baby picture is totally gross :). I’ve seen babies allowed to walk/run around playing looking like that.
