Or however the heck you say that. I can sprout the afrikaans version for you if you prefer?!?
“Sannie Sê Sannie Sal Sewe Sakke Sout Sleep.. ” <– You get the drift.
As a little girl I had a very unfortunate lisp only made worse by my stuttering… Yes, I was teased. Terribly. But I told them all to F@k off (well not quite that word..LOL) and got on with getting over it. I still stutter from time to time.. but most people are too polite to mock me. Not all, there are those that still laugh and mock, but the numbers have decreased over the years.
As a result I drowned myself in books as a little girl and at the age of 9 was reading books to the likes of 101 Dalmations (the english version taken from my afrikaans school library). The teachers would often disbelieve that I was actually reading the books until I stood in front of them and read out to them, lisp and stutter included.
My love for reading does not stop at fiction. I love History, Cookbooks and Comics. And to the amusement of my friends.. Manuals.
I am a manual reader.. If I buy a new Doohicky, I read the Manual before I switch it on. There isn’t anything I buy that I don’t first read the Manual. I love the instructions included and will often keep them in the original box and put the box away.. (just in case).
I enjoy the simplicity of reading and when I have to evaluate something important I need to read it first in order to completely understand it. My listening skills pale in comparison 
(See, my mom was right)..
