...with my older brothers. They all picked on me, and I always tattled on them to my father. They would hang me on the clothesline by my underpants. I was little, and they put me up there with clothespins. Or they'd pin me down on the ground and spit in my mouth. All brothers do that, don't they? I wasn't quiet at all.

...answer their questions and found joking about my presumed lunacy or incompetence the only possible response. Each was funny, in his own way. Unfortunately, the jokes fell flat on my cars; you see, I stutter. I answered slowly because that was the only speed at which I could spit out the words. This is not a call for sympathy.
