David Sedaris Quote

I didn’t see my sessions as the sort of thing that one would want to advertise, but as my teacher liked to say, I guess it takes all kinds. Whereas my goal was to keep it a secret, hers was to inform the entire class. If I got up from my seat at 2:25, she’d say, Sit back down, David. You’ve still got five minutes before your speech therapy session. If I remained seated until 2:27, she’d say, David, don’t forget you have a speech therapy session at two-thirty. On the days I was absent, I imagined she addressed the room, saying, David’s not here today but if he were, he’d have a speech therapy session at two-thirty.
