When my grandmother was in an orphanage (they called it school, an "academy"), the nuns taught her to sew, knit, and crochet because "no one can take that away from you." Friends, the firm that sold the pattern brands also owns Boye needles. They're going to try and take it away from us.

They also might have avoided exposing a bunch of strangers to chicken pox. But Dr. Dobson told them a child's strong will couldn't be tolerated.
Space Witches, Esq. (@popelizbet.bsky.social) reply parent
Now, tired whiny kids on a road trip sucks to deal with. But if my parents had used their brains they would have remembered that I didn't put up a fuss about my shoes and also was usually excited to eat in a restaurant and concluded that something was wrong instead of thinking I was being a brat.
Space Witches, Esq. (@popelizbet.bsky.social) reply parent
By the time a few hours later thaf we got to grandma's, the first few chicken pox had raised--all on my feet. They rapidly spread all over my body and the visit became the difficult task of keeping me comfortable & not exposing my cousins.
Space Witches, Esq. (@popelizbet.bsky.social) reply parent
So we got wherever we were going for dinner and I had a little temper fit because it *hurt* to put my shoes on, I wasn't hungry, and I just wanted to sleep. This was not received well and I went into the restaurant crying because no one would listen that my feet hurt.
Space Witches, Esq. (@popelizbet.bsky.social) reply parent
I was a pretty obedient kid, and while I didn't want to wear shoes in the car on road trips, I knew you had to wear shoes to go inside places. This trip to grandma's I felt bad, and I'm sure I had been more grumpy and whiny than usual. And I was complaining that my feet hurt.

It is very important to note, when talking about the VICP program, that it's a very low bar to clear and well over half the compensation paid out is in cases where there is no causal evidence that the vaccine is responsible for the result.
