My Trip to the Kwik-E-Mart

I think The Simpsons is probably one of the more benign shows on today- I've seen stronger content on the Disney Channel. Let him watch it- it won't warp him too much.

I don't know how it is I typed "pretend" when the word I meant is "have". Aphasia sucks.

I agree it is a benign show (hard to believe the ruckus it caused all those many years ago) and with the characters so firmly entrenched the movie probably doesn't go as far as they would have a decade ago but it probably won't be as benign as the show.

Well, I translated it to "present", so perhaps that's where your brain was going.

While I haven't suffered any brain damage, I've always likened some of the more mild cases of aphasia to something I've experienced that some other former stutterers do, which is often having the right word on the tip of my tongue, or just using the wrong word entirely. I can usually describe everything about that word, even synonyms, but have difficulty finding the one I'm thinking of.

I've just accepted it, and it's become almost humorous to me, now - so I haven't bothered looking it up further than the one time I got super obsessed with it.
