How do you feel when somebody makes fun of your speech in jest?

How do you feel when somebody makes fun of your speech in jest? Yesterday at practice, one of my teammates asked me to tell someone else something, so I ran out to my other teammate. When I started speaking, I had a really hard time with one of the words and one of our assistant coaches cracked a joke and said something about using my words clearly. I didn't know how to respond so I just nodded, but my teammate (thankfully) mentioned to the coach that I have a stutter. I feel like I should've reacted differently to the joke, but I really don't know what to say. I'm not offended if somebody jokes about my stutter or speech, but I want them to realize that I have a speech impediment. I dunno. I feel like this happens pretty frequently to me and I just don't know what to ever say in the moment. What do you guys do when stuff like that happens?
