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

The fact that the kid has a speech impediment is completely irrelevant. It has nothing to do with how smart the kid is. The fact that you don't know that makes me question YOUR intelligence, not the kid's.

Just because she has a speech impediment, doesn't mean she's retarded. You should learn how to speak proper english....just because you're most likely American doesn't mean you can talk like a hick.

first off, it disgusts me when people make a mockery of the english language. it's the only one that most people choose to speak (since America is too lazy to learn anything) so you should speak it properly: IT'S NOT THAT HARD. also, if you're babysitting, and trying to set a good example, you should speak extra well. pathetic.
