The Case of the Stuttering Honyock
I like to give my 79-year old Mom a call at least once a week. And since my newly-acquired stutter seems to manifest itself more when I’m on the phone than at any other time, I figured this would be a good time to roll some tape and get a baseline to compare with down the road.
And, because I have a blog, I’m sharing it with YOU!
Here’s a glimpse at my speech problems as of Feb. 7, 2010. I have no trouble with volume or projection. But I have picked up a bothersome stutter.
And now, I’m bothering YOU with it!

I haven’t heard the word “Honyock” in years……I heard it a lot as a kid….”stop that you little honyock”
We’re ALL honyocks on this bus! (Can you imagine hiring me to work for you now, with my voice acting like this?)
You think that I usually stink, you should smell me now after grocery shopping, cleaning the aquarium, vacuuming, laundry, etc. Plus I have not showered since Friday (have been a bit busy). Whew! But it is all in a Sunday at Mom’s house. After the Super Bowl, I get to come home and do my own housework. What a lucky girl me!
Bill, you sound alot like I do when I am really stressed out. Dad had that stutter too. Consider it a badge of honor. Honyocks all!
