Yes, often when my stuttering is teased/poked fun at etc I'm brought back to Mr. Alex's first grade class filling in our new December calendars. It was my turn and my date was the eleventh. It came out as "eelev le lev leevvvv nth" Garrett mimicked the way I said it and the entire class laughed. That was the day I realized I stuttered, I've never forgotten it. We're in our 20's now and I don't think he knows that day made such an impact on my life.
