My mom took me to a couple of those in the mid 60's.

Sounds like your mom was way ahead of the curve.

It was a very common thing back then. Even though I had the measles vaccine (not sure about chicken pox or whooping cough, did have the polio on the sugar cube and the smallpox that left a scar on my arm), they told my mom, if I did get measles, it wouldn't be as bad.

I did get measles, chicken pox and whooping cough, although I never did get mumps.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I got the mumps in first grade and clearly remember it was painful and I was very ill. Worst part was I missed the classroom valentines day party.
