Roald Dahl on his daughter contracting #measles — 1962.
“I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe cleaners,” Dahl later wrote, “and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything.”
