speech impediments

[Dude!]

some are painful to listen to
but some are quite cute

my nextdoor neighbor is
an older woman
who adds an 'h' after every 's'

"hi dude!, are thoshe new pantsh you're wearing"?

"what classhesh are you taking at shchool?

she seems oblivious to the fact
that she talks like this

or as she would say:

"she sheemsh oblivioush to the fact
that she talksh like thish"

it is charming, though

Speech therapy, is really the only way.
As much as my lisp does bother me... I just never could commit myself to 2 years of therapy 4x per month.

True, I would imagine it would take a lot of dedication to correct the speech pattern of an adult.

Funny thing about a lisp is; some people notice it right away.... others notice it after a little while.... and some people "never notice it".

Odd.
