definition: When you have chicken pox, you are sick. It is a disease that gives you a fever and spots on your body. The fever lasts a few days, but the spots take longer to go away, and they itch. Children get chicken pox more often than adults do.
My mom had chicken pox when she was little. She said she had to stay in bed, but it wasn't so bad because my grandmother read her lots of stories.
