First, thanks for the BD wish;
Second, I'm still a baby and way to young for that 60 talk; and
Third, both of my parents are deceased and I'm not positive I had chicken pox but I did grow up in the age where parents thought it was best to let you sleep next to your older brother who was sick with normal childhood illnesses like measles or mumps so you would get sick and be done with it. Is it critical to have had the pox?
