Grandma and the Chicken Pox

By Amerikaner

My twin boys were only seven years old when their paternal grandmother

announced she was getting remarried. We were all thrilled for her, since

she

had seemed so lonely since Grandpa passed away a few years before. We broke

the

news to our boys, who were sitting in the back of the car. " Grandma is

getting

married again, " we said.

Jon had a look of thoughtfulness on his face for a while. He finally

asked, " Is she going to have more children? "

Before we had a chance to respond, his twin brother Mike shot back this

answer: " No! She can't. She already had them. It's like chicken pox.

Once

you get them, you can't get them again. "
