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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, a four-year-old said a word that I didn't know the meaning of. I had to look up the definition. 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
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

Ah, I don't want to sound rude, but it's better not to speak that way to people with a speech impediment. I was born with one and it get's annoying when they start talking to me like an idiot when they don't understand what I'm saying...

Aside from agreeing with everyone saying that speech impediments do not make for intellectually lacking people, I have to ask, did you write this just to say you are in a college honors program? Is this honors program only in place to let entitled children feel good about themselves? Seriously, this post just makes you look like an ass over and over again.

You were wrong, you deserved to be corrected. Now have some backbone about it and stop whining on the internet about being corrected over one tiny mistake and trying to get one-up over a four-year-old with these pathetic "speech impediment" comments. I'd hate to see what you'd be like in an actual "FML" situation...

Honors program doesn't mean much if you're at a crappy college IMO. Also, college? or University? slight difference, so I'm just wondering. YDI... whether it was on purpose or by accident. That kid owned you.

Her having a speech impediment has nothing to do with her knowing grammar. How did you get out of high school?

You are a nanny and you thought it was a good idea to talk to a four year old with a speech impediment in a way that would guarantee she would be made fun of mercilessly if she ever imitated it?

A speech impediment doesn't automatically equate to retardation, champ. You must not be in a very good school if you can be on the honor roll while sounding like a ******* juvenile delinquent.
