Here is an email my wonderful-mom sister-in-law had a few months ago with my brother Jeff about my niece Isabella...
Hi! Remember last night I was telling you I was impressed that Isa knew so much about 'something?' Chicken pox! We were talking about being sick and she mentioned chicken pox."
"What is chicken pox?"
Isa: "Chicken pox is when you don't feel too well and you have tiny red spots all over your face."
Claudia: "Oh, so what should you do when you have chicken pox?"
Isa: "You need to stay in bed a long time."
Claudia: "And after staying in bed for a long time what happens?"
Isa: "You get all better, but you have to drink a lot of water!"
Claudia: "Oh, I remember when I was a little girl like you, and I got chicken pox, and I had to stay in bed for a long time and I couldn't go to school."
Isa: "Yeah, when I was a little girl like you I had chicken pox and I couldn't go to school either."
Claudia: "Oh, you remember when you were a little girl?"
Isa: "Yeah"
Then she got dressed. I asked her if she felt sick and then she said, "A little, but I don't have chicken pox! See? (points to her face) I don't have spots on my face!"
