Just A Little Note: Health Tip

Smooches

When my eldest daughter was little I always kissed her goodnight.  A smooch on the lips after devotions, prayer and lights out.  I guess I had to go through something difficult in order to realized I would only give my kids a kiss on the forehead or cheek, but not on the lips. 

We always had a rule our kids could not smooch anyone on the lips unless it was me or their dad.  One day  my daughter came down with the chicken pox and only had one or two bumps.  I had already had chicken pox before and thought I could never catch it again.  I gave her a smooch goodnight and tucked her in as I did every night.   Then one morning I found myself covered with chicken pox both inside and out.  I had trouble breathing and could not even walk.  It was everywhere and it took allot for me not to scratch myself raw. 

I will never forget my husband rubbing the calamine lotion all over my body and just the love it took for him to do that for me  made me feel a little better.  I soon became better and was able to make it through with just a couple almost invisible scars. 

I would no longer kiss my kids on the mouth only on the forehead or cheek.  I especially tried to avoid drinking after anyone, though on occasion I have, but reluctantly.  That was over twenty years ago.

So if you asked me,  would I let my toddler give smooches to anyone.  You know what my answer would be.  No, not even family members.
