I kinda did. My brother was older when he got it and had it severely. I was only about 4 months old so my mom thought it I caught it then I wouldn't have to remember it and might suffer less. I only had a few pox and it seemed successful as I didn't get it, even my sister who I shared a room with did. But after I had whooping cough we checked titers on all my vaccines and I did not have immunity to chicken pox. So I had to get the chicken pox shot at 35. It turns out that infants can have enough immunity from their mother to fight off the virus but not gain immunity.

Now I'm only a few months from the shingles vaccine. Yippee!
