Wouldn't want to have a stutter and be in that family!

As a little kid, I spoke with a lisp. I was determined to get over that! Fortunately, the school district had someone to help me with that :).

Well,

now you understand why I was so determined to stop lisping, @Smart Red !

The little girl who was with me in therapy was named Carolyn. She was cute and really smart but didn't have the same motivation. She did decide that she liked me :).

She and her family moved :hit.

Imagine the poor fellow who was christened Positive Wasserman Jackson....

Talking about southern accents... my real name is Muriel, a pretty name I always thought. Until my cousins came from Oklahoma to visit once and pronounced it "Merle".

DH especially liked my name as my mother pronounced it-- she was a French emigree. The way she pronounced it, you would have expected it to be spelled Murielle- with the accent on the last syllable.
