Share your most funny/embarrassing speech disorder related story! Here's mine, it might be hard to beat... When I was in 4th grade my grade school would have 2 students (different everyday) do the pledge on the intercom. Mind you that the school had about 600 students. Well when it was my turn that day, this other kid and I were told to say are names before we started. I froze up and couldn't get anything out except for some gibberish and then came the long awkward silence. Thankfully the kid that was with me said my name for me after a few heart racing moments. From then on kids would make their jokes here and there but it's good to look back now and have a laugh about it.
