Archie Brown had pneumonia twice and chickenpox. His sister, Cathy had had whooping cough as a baby and broken her arm once. Their little brother, Max, had broken his collar bone twice and his arm once. Each of those times had made for a bit of difficulty for their parents, especially their mother, Betty Lou.
But the time that all three of them came down with severe cases of the measles was a really difficult time for her. She put them all in the living room, because it was darker than any room in the house. For some reason Betty thought that light would hurt their eyes when they had measles. Archie was on one couch, Cathy on the other and Max on a pallet on the floor. They stayed in there for most of a week, with high fevers and whiny attitudes. It was a tough week for all!
