Kids: Today, I was babysitting a 4 year-old with a speech impediment....

Today, I was babysitting a 4 year-old with a speech impediment. I asked her, "Do you got your bag?" And she said, "No. I have my bag. Babies say got. I'm a big girl." I am 20 years old and in the honors program in my college. I was corrected by a 4 year-old with a speech impediment. FML

Today, I was reading a picture storybook to a kindergarten kid. She could pronounce more words than me, and corrected me. I'm about triple her age. FML

Today, I got slapped by a date because she thought I was making fun of her speech impediment. I wasn't making fun, I just have the same speech impediment. FML

Today, the 4-year-old I was babysitting came up to me all happy, saying she went to the bathroom like a "big girl". Knowing she was just potty trained, I asked if she'd remembered to flush. Looking at me confused, she said, "But it's in my room." FML

Today, the kids I teach informed me that I had spelled my name incorrectly on the board. I looked at it and assured them that I had spelled it correctly. I'm 22 and a graduate student, they're six and mentally challenged. Guess who was right? FML

Today, at work, I was helping someone who really sounded like she had a Boston accent. So, I asked her where she was from. She has never been out of state. Turns out she has a speech impediment. FML

You had to ask

By hii - 01/03/2009 20:29 - United States

Today, I was babysitting a one year-old. She'd just learned how to say yes, so if you asked her ANYTHING, she'd say yes. I asked her if she liked vegetables and she said, "Yes!" Then I asked her if I was pretty. She looked at me and said, "NO." FML

Today, I was teaching a small group of improv students. I asked one guy to do a monologue, and laughed to myself while he did so. I said, "Sorry, I'm just laughing at the way you're doing it." He then got upset and pointed out that he had a speech impediment. FML

Today, a customer punched me in the face for repeating their order back to them because they thought I was making fun of their speech impediment. I have the same speech impediment. FML

#150, did you mean:It WASN'T* because she spoke to the child using improper grammar...i'm not trying to be an ass by correcting you, i just want to make sure I understood you correctly. and i can see what you mean, leaving the speech impediment part out would probably have been best.

...well duhhh you did say it wrong. a 4 year old isn't dumb. just becos people have speech impediments doesn't mean their brain doesn't work! i have one, so does my boyfriend. kids can be quite smart about certain things. you fail for speaking bad english to a young child. YDI

If it was just a slip then it doesn't show that the person is stupid, everybody makes grammar mistakes once in a while . If you're saying someone who makes basic grammar mistakes is too stupid to get honours then I guess I don't deserve my honours degree... I always make spelling and grammar mistakes because of my dyslexia...Am I stupid too?

Just because a child has a speech impediment does not mean that they don't know proper order and grammar. That is a whole different thing. You deserved to be corrected by that child.
