“I have a stuttering problem. The worst part of it is that I never know when it will happen. When it does people are caught off guard, feel badly for me, don’t know what to do, and become distracted. If it happens while we’re talking, the best thing to do is to bear with me and if you and I are lucky it will come and go. If it doesn’t, we’ll just have to do the best we can. I apologize in advance for whatever inconvenience this causes you.”
