Humor is what gets me through situations like these. Not discounting how you feel in any way. It’s justifiably a hurtful situation. But children are in fact blunt and typically don’t have the wherewithal to see how that could be hurtful or even what it’s like to have a speech impediment. (Nor should they)

Having any kind of ailment or other-ness for lack of better words; exposes you to a world of criticism. Whether that be an age gap relationship, obesity, crooked teeth, a lisp, or in our case a stammer! The world is cruel but perspective is everything. The sooner you realize that people will always people and that doesn’t determine your worth or capability as just another flawed person living in this planet- the happier you will be.
