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

Today, I was babysitting a three-year-old. She asked me what was wrong with my belly. I had to explain to her that I'm just fat. Twice. 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

Oh, and seriously.. I'm failing 9th grade English and I knew that you should never say, "Do you got your bag?"

Well maybe you should try setting a good example for the child you're babysitting and speak correctly, especially if you have the ability to know when you're speaking incorrectly - i.e. your honours program remark. And good for that little girl for being so smart, and for correcting you! You could learn a thing or two from her. And next time, you could ask, "Have you got your bag?" That's actually correct, and you get to use the word "got". ;)

a speech impediment should have nothing to do with the kid's grammar skills. Double "you deserved it."

if you say "do you got your bag?" you dont deserve to be in an honors program, or in college. Really, people in kindergarten know better. and if your said it because she had a speech impediment, then i agree with #13 and #55

YDI for grammar fail. Haven't you learned anything from the grammar Nazis on FML?

Uh, being in the honors program doesn't mean you're good at grammar. And having a speech impediment doesn't determine anything. I'd rather say FYL for being so stupid.
