As a person who has been called retarded because of my stutter, I want that cup! I am sorry it makes you feel hurt, but if we can’t laugh, we cry. Granted I thankfully only stutter about half the time I talk so I think I am lucky. But it bothers me, I get upset, I cry, but laughing helps. I truly am sorry it upsets you, but I really do want that mug. I have yelled that to my bonus daughter, while stuttering. It is one of our favorite memories. It is truly how I cope though, we all cope in different ways.
