Hi everyone.
The other day I was at one of my sister's house and my mother was there too. In the kitchen we were having a cup of tea and talking about general matters.
At some point I began to initiate a topic and I was immediately interrupted and outspoken mid-sentence by my sister. This was commonplace and nobody turned a blind eye, but for once I actually raised a point about it.
When I confronted her about it she didn't seem to understand and continued on. I stopped her and I then grilled my mother about it who simply smirked and couldn't answer. This had been going on since my childhood, yet it was never brought up.
To take the heat out of my questionning I joked that the reason I stuttered was because I could never get a word in between them. Suddenly, they both became defensive and told me to stop being so silly.
Regardless of my approach to this matter does anybody else have family, perhaps sisters, who always seem to butt in when you are in mid-speak? Could this be the reason why males are three times as likely to stutter than females???
It's only a thought.
