People Are Sharing The “Normal” Things They Didn’t Realize Were Unusual Until They Grew Up, And I’m Emotional

“For those that haven’t heard of them, basically, when one kid gets the chicken pox, all the other unvaccinated kids come over and share popsicles to spread the infection. As I recall, parents would also save extra popsicle sticks and mail them to other anti-vax families around the country. It took me quite a few tries to get infected, so I went to a bunch! I thought it was totally normal at the time. 5-year-old me was mostly stoked on the promise of unlimited popsicle sticks.

I am now happily vaccinated. :)”
