lisps

i just had occasion to think about two girls i knew only briefly (and barely at all really). i was mildly in awe both of them, and have only the nicest memories of both. usually my memories are fraught with problems...i don't like looking back at all. indeed i hadn't thought about either girl for quite some time.

the thread connecting these two girls--what made me think of them-- is that they both had lisps. one had a rather strange lisp, such that i made a faux pas by asking her upon first meeting where her accent came from (oops). the other had a mild lisp which became increasingly difficult to perceive the more you spoke to her.

i don't know whether i like certain lisps because of these two girls, or something like vice-versa. i suspect the former. or maybe it's that in my perception a lisp is kind of humanizing, like some really cute person having a big pimple on their forehead. i hope that doesn't sound offensive.

anyway let's talk about lisps ok?

is a lisp a physiological condition? can it be overcome like a speech impediment? or is it a "difference" rather than an "imperfection"?

It's a speech impediment (or a trace of one.) It can probably be overcome, but I think most speech therapists are just happy that you are no longer a stuttering fuck who mixes up his ssssses and th's to bother trying to fix slight slurring (this is just my experience though.)

You are either a) a Francophile or b) a homosexualist or c) a cunning linguist.
