I’m the youngest in a large family and grew up in a big city. I was always the one sent to the corner store to pick up that day’s meat or fresh produce. Always gave me anxiety telling the butcher my order or asking a lady for a particular vegetable. While I still stutter, it taught me not to shy away. Even now, my wife tells me to ask store clerks because she’s the one intimidated even though she doesn’t stutter. Now if I’m having a bad day, I have my phone ready with the picture of what I need. Also, recently switched to grating cheese. Lasts much longer.
