True Confessions: My name is Jeanne and I have Verbal Dyslexia. It's true...I know. *shame*
Seriously...I have a verbal condition where I take the first letter from the two words and swap them. For example this morning I meant to say Lunch and Dinner, but I said Dunch and Linner. It's unbelievable to me how often I do this. Heter Pisey, Sicken Chandwich, Champoo and Shonditioner etc.
And if not Verbal Dyslexia, just like a very slow computer, my brain gives me the hour glass...I know exactly what I am trying to say but for the life of me I can't draw the word out of my brainal filing cabinets. So I say stupid things like: "Oh you know those cars that go bump?!?" and Hannah says "You mean bumper cars?" or "You know...what bears do in the winter?!?" "Hibernate?" "Yes, yes! Hibernate!" or "You know what I mean...the chair with wheels?(As I move my hands back and forth in front of me)" "Wheelchair?" Menopause, alzheimers, brain lapse, I don't know. Suffice to say though at times frustrating, it is also a source of much laughter...at my expense. The ability to laugh at oneself is crucial. :) Hope you have a dreat gay! J.
