Chicken Pox and the Mardi Gras Float
I was a five-year-old in New Orleans, and it was Mardi Gras. I would be riding on a parade float, which was a big deal. So would my sister, who had just gotten over the chicken pox. The day before the parade, I found red spots on my belly. I will never forget my sister waving at me from that huge float.
