I think its unusual to catch it if ya had the vacine as a child, but you know how the luck in this house is lol......
Anyways...... there was about 6 nippers in the village that got it, from where, no one is sure, but all I can say is that my lad must be as 'ard as nails' cos the others that caught it were wellabit poorly, but my Sam, as did I, laffed each and every day as he puffed up and his head grew big and his face began to resemble a hamster.....he was fat and swollen but other then that he was not poorly or unwell at all...
This is Sam laffing when I told him I think he has mumps...
A few days later his face had puffed up so much that he began to resemble a chinaman LOL....
I told him that I should take him to the doctors just to check that I had it right and that indeed he did have mumps.....
This is the conversation we had in the car on the way to the doctors......
Me - Sam, ya know mumps at your age can be dangerous...
Sam - What do you mean 'dangerous'...
Me - Well as a little kid ya just get poorly and swollen, but at your age mumps can make ya infertile... (he was 16 lol)
Sam - Infertile, what the hell...
Me - Yep, and in extreme cases ya nuts can swell so big that they burst and they fall off and ya fall on the floor in agony...and ya cant stand for days let alone walk...
Sam - Oh shut up mum, you making it up...
Me - Ok Sam, dont believe me, but dont come crawling to me with ya nuts burst all over the floor asking for a plaster(bandaid) and sympathy...
Sam - SILENCE.......
Me - Smiling...
Sam - 5 minutes later...... so what do you think the doctor will do *gulp*...
Me - Oh he or she will have a look at ya swellings...
Sam - Well she wont have to look hard mum, just look at me fat face...
Me - Who said anything about ya face *giggling*...
Sam - Whats that suppose to mean...
Me - Like I told ya Sam, ya know, about ya nuts (SO KEEPING A STRAIGHT FACE AT THIS POINT)...
Sam - WHAT???
Me - Yep, ya will have to strip naked and probably get one or two 'unswelling injections'...
Sam - *gulp gulp* what the hell is an unswelling injection?
Me - (Dead straight face).... ya know Sam, in ya bits to try and stop the risk of ya nuts exploding with the mumps virus...
Sam - Well I AINT gonna let that happen... no one is giving me an unswelling injection in me nuts... they will just have to explode and drop off... (real scared look on his face)...
Me - Lets just wait and see what she says...
Sam - A SHE? then thats it, turn the car around and take me home...
Me - No way Sam, look, there's a parking space... lets go in...
Doc - Dont look so scared Sam, its not gonna be painful for to long...
Me - Smiling...
Sam - Please, can I have the unswelling injection in me arm instead of in me nuts?...
Doc - Blank Stare...
Me - Smiling and keeping me mouth shut so tight I could hardly breathe...
Doc - Sam, what are you talking about, I didnt say anything about an injection, and certainly not an unswelling injection, and what is that anyway?...
Me - Grinning like a cheshire cat lol...
Sam - Red with embarrassment..... me mum said that mumps makes ya infertile at my age and that me nuts will swell and burst and drop off unless I have the unswelling injection, and I aint striping naked and I dont do injections and I didnt wanna come and I think maybe I dont want kids anyway, so I might as well go home NOW...
Me - holding my hand over my mouth to try and stop the giggles...
Doc - And you believed your mum? HAHAHAHAHA... (she was now trying to compose herself).. Sam, your nuts will not burst, they will not drop off, and you do not need an unswelling injection ANYWHERE... except for your swollen glands in your neck the rest of you is fine, just let the mumps run their course, and all will be well......
She turned to me and said....... NOW, that story is mine to keep and to use when and wherever I can LOL
Me - Well sometimes a parent just HAS TO HAVE PAYBACK TIME and my time was today LOL...
Sam - I DONT THINK THATS FUNNY MUM hahahahahahahaha I will get ya back.....
Soon wiped that smile off his fat face..... see how swollen he looks lol
He LOVES me really..... this is word for word a true account of what happened :) - it was just sooooo funny... how could I not tease him, 16 is just a great age for payback LOL
Way to much Twaddle gone midnight on a Thursday night.....ok, so I couldnt sleep :)...

You are fire! Have you wiped that impish grin off ur face yet then? And when are we going to see ur pic?

I just had a MMR shot so I will not catch the mumps. But if I DO catch the mumps, I know who I will not tell: YOU! Instead, I'll find Sam, who can commiserate without fraud. :)
hahahaha good'un toasty! :P
we had mumps outbreak here last year, amongst college/university kids for the most part... of near epidemic proportions
It's a wonder that boy doesn't have a complex or something- the things you pull on him!
Are you certain that he isn't taking Steroids? He has that Awhnuld look about him.
You really put the Mum in Mumps!
Oh you're a cruel woman Marmie! LOL
I remember when my youngest was about 2 I took him to see my mum and said "look at his chubby little face, isn't he gorgeous?"
Mum said "He's got mumps!" :(

Poor kid looks like he needs a feed. And a hairpiece.
Kids make the greatest "straight men" a comedy team could have! I pulled so much crap like that on my two boys, by the time they were 12, they wouldn't believe me if I told them the house was on fire...
Poor Sam! No fun to have a face resembling a hamster.

Ya do the Hokey Pokey and ya shake it all around...that's what it's all aBOUT!
Has he ever gotten back at you? That may be when he starts his own blog... to tell his story. lol
You are a mean one!!
I was probably 6 when I had the mumps, and my sister got them. And her mumps attacked her pancreas. So, the truth is, the disease can be very cross!!
Glad your Sam still is intact.
Can't wait to hear the rest. LOL!
I just love how you think :)
I only have 3 girls to mess with, I have done some interesting things over the years.
Each time one of them got close to gettin their monthly I told them it was a great thing to have happen, and how wonderful they will feel as a young woman. I also celebrated each one we got ice cream cakes, went shoppin and had a good time. After the 2nd or 3rd day they hated me cause of the painful cramps and 'mess' but I did enjoy the 'lookin forward' to it by each of them. None of them told the others how it was not a wonderful thing just so they could see the reaction too.
Sorry for the long comment...well, not really but it's polite to say so. :o
ROFLMBO!!!! I cannot believe you manage to keep a straight face while telling your sons some of these things. I'd be busting a gut LONG before I'd finished the "tale" if I tried telling one of your whoppers. Toasty, you are a natural born story-teller. *grin* It's no wonder your kiddos love ya so much!!!
Now's MT youse know I never meant that youse was 'disgusting'.
You swine, tell Sam I'm applying for adoption. That poor kid will need therapy. Mind you it is true, my nephew got it really bad (mumps), and his private parts resembled a bulldogs rear-end, mind you it didn't affect his fertility, three out and wanting three more (children). Good to see your still on the ball, so to speak.....
Just another day in paradise, I see. Your "torment" reminded me of Syd...who is very happy to have made the transatlantic voyage and live in benign bliss, no longer in fear from life-in-the-cottage.
(smiling)
Sorry to hear about your recent illness. All this time I thought you preferred lentils and roses to daffodils.Go figure.
Life goes on.
mel...why are you up to ya eyeballs in solicitors...why won't that rat bastard shrivel up and die? what's he doing now? you know i gotta know all these things. inquiring minds want to know lol
Mumps are nasty. It makes one look like frankensteins monster.
I never liked the idea of a female doctor touching my nuts. Actually any doctor for that matter...
Poor Sam! Ha! It's a wonder he got up the nerve to go in there! I wonder if the vaccine didn't 'take' for him. It didn't take for me, either, even though I have been repeatedly vaccinated to no avail. Doc says I'm probably immune, and the test just doesn't show it. Weird, eh?
~((((Scottie))))~ yep, ya just summed me up to a tee LOL... :) - BUT, Im nice with it *WEG*...xxxxx
~(((within without)))~ gawds sake, ya dont even have the same words to that song as what we do LOL... its - Ya do the Hokey Cokey and ya round around, thats what its all about HEY.... now dont get me started on rugby songs lol....xxxxx
~((((InlandEmpireGirl))))~ Sam gets me back all the time LOL.... god help me if he has a 'get ya back blob' lol.....xxxxx

~(((((Queenie))))~ LOL@bulldogs rear end, that puts a whole new thinking on our phrase 'your the dogs bollocks' LOL - sending my Sam up NORTH to eat black pudding and to go down da pit LOL :)....xxxxx
~((((((((((((Wendy))))))))~ Ive MISSED YOU.... I often wonder how Syd is doing after his tramatic crossing of the ocean in that little airtight box LOL...
Pppssst..... I WASNT POORLY, it was something I heard on the radio and I turned it into a joke LOL...... AND..... you should see the amount of lentils we eat now in this house :).... it sure keeps one regular....... (((Wendy))) love you....xxxxxxxx
