lol. I didn't have people tease me like that growing up, so I love bobby. I can imagine how hurtful it would have been though. Regarding the finishing your words thing, in addition to nukefudge's advice, whehn i'm working to get a word out and someone completes it for me, I still continue on and keep working at the word until I get it out myself. This usually means not stopping or restarting after they say it because by then it's often easy to get out. but if I just stay on the sound and keep moving forward, I feel like the word is still mine and i've spoken it for myself. I usually have a little smile on my face showing them I hear them, but im still working the word out for myself.
