I had a small lisp when I was younger and it just kind of stopped about 8yo.

My mates young kid has been taken out of school because of bullying!
Big mistake in my opinion. He's already a wuss and this will make it worse.

Just saw that Lowrie woman on the Wright Stuff, although I would as long she doesn't speak. thumbup
Eta She has a pronounced lisp.

A lisp is bad, but a voice that doesn't break til you're 21 is worse.

I was scrawny and wore glasses, I had enough to worry about without a lisp.

My daughter has a lisp, but she sounds like the girl of A Miracle On 34th St, so I kind of like it, makes her sute.

She'll also put off men as a result, which, as a father, is perfect.

Never had a lisp, but did go to speach therapy as a child, because I couldn't say Umbrella , Helicopter and some other stupid words which you never use on a daily basis!

My son also had to go age 3 to 4, as he could not pronounce 'r', 'th' and 's'

No, but I briefly dated a girl whos r's were pronounced as w's.

Had great fun asking her to order Rolling Rock and Red Bull at a bar.

Reminds me of the Sid Watkins story of the helicopter and the umbrella.

You sure it is not the other way round?

Surely you would wish to help your daughters social interaction.

Otherwise she will be the middle aged cat woman.

What?

You don't have a daughter do you?

By not correcting her lisp, this is the closest I can get to putting a chastity belt on her hehe

Of course I don't have a daughter. I am still shagging daughters.

It is a shame to have one missing out wink

Cruel, rofl

By the way, I have one, I'm told its 'cute and endearing'.

As an aside, I'd like to know what sort of evil, sick minded bd would create, and spell word, that describes a condition, that contains the offending letter, 's', when those afflicted can't pronounce it.....

Easy diagnostic test for the doctor; if they can say "I don't have a lisp" they don't have one. I guess. biggrin
