LMAO story from my pediatric office. Pronunciation does matter.

[3catwoman3]

I was examining young brothers on Friday, for their 2 and 4 year old well visits. The mom had suckers (which I call lollipops) for the boys for their rewards upon completion of the exams. The 2 yr old was particularly eager for his.

He could not pronounce the "S" sound properly, and kept asking his mom to "unwrap the fucker."

Mom and I were both laughing out loud. It was impossible not to.

5. When I was quite young . . .

I couldn't pronounce "t", saying "f" instead. Imagine the baby sitter's surprise when I asked here to tuck me in bed. . .

6. One of my nephews had that problem with "tr". His mom got mad at us for "truck"

We couldn't help it. "And what do you call the man who drives the truck?"
