Yup! Ice cream, old movies, reruns and game shows to watch on TV! And no one I knew who got measles, chicken pox and mumps died. Rite of passage for kids back then.
I remember trying to read Wind in the Willows while sick with Chicken Pox.
Still can't now. Those cute little moles and toads were nightmarish. The doc came and said "That looks like smallpox" - his words sounded like they came through a tube. (I got the pussy, staph chicken pox that was making the global rounds at the time).
