Wednesday's Word as thought provoking, maybe?
umbrage \UHM-brij\, noun:
a. A vague or indistinct indication or suggestion; a hint.
b. Reason for doubt; suspicion.
Yes, I am capable of having a serious conversation. I am a very good listener and when you say "You really know how to push my buttons!", I won't even blurt out, "You just said, 'BUTTon'!"
I found this today while perusing the world wide web, and it caught my attention. I have been tossing around the idea to just not immunize our youngest child. Although, she's already had the first rounds of vaccines, I have held off giving her the MMR immunization because this was the one most closely linked with causing autism. Now, as stated above, I am a good listener. And when I hear something more than once, it kinda sticks with me. Just ask Michael, or my dad. I can recite strange lines from strange movies that no one else even remembers. I can even dance like Billy Idol. (Hello, fans!) And the words autism and immunizations have come up waaaayy more than once. Try, like 5,000 times, since Layna has joined our tribe. I don't necessarily think that vaccinating your child will always give said child autism, but if it has happened in the past and there is the chance of it happening again, why should I take that chance? Truly, I am perplexed. I am, as of yet, undecided. Just thought I would share these thoughts with y'all and see what kind of response I got. Most people I know have vaccinated their children and have not had any adverse effects. Having said that, I don't know anyone personally, who has a child with autism. So, until this umbrage passes, or the proof is undeniably in favor of poisoning children with mercury, baby will remain MMR-less.
P.S. Before you judge me, yes, my other babies have been immunized, and have not been clinically diagnosed with autism. They do, however, ignore me and avoid eye contact just after smearing toothpaste all over the bathroom mirror, counter, and sink because their "friends" told them it repairs scratches on DVDs.
