Feeling like i did a good thing A couple of days ago me and my mother were at the airport and we were doing the check-in and i noticed the girl we were talking to talked really fast and stumbled up on her words sometimes and it'd take a second for her to begin speaking again so i thought she might have a stutter. So i just asked my mother a stupid question to let the girl know she wasn't alone in this, i wasn't sure she heard me stuttering so i just asked another stupid question to make sure she'd hear me. I'm not sure if she was just nervous or she actually had a stutter, but i think i did a good thing
