When my cousin had chicken pox my mom popped her finger in my cousin's mouth, then popped that finger in my and my brother's mouths.

I was a kid in the 90s and while pox was already somewhat of old sounding word, it feels especially archaic to realize that kids don't have to go through any poxes anymore.
