I thought the spinning beach ball of death / marble of doom was a Mac thing?

Windows uses either the hourglass or, more recently, the blue circle, right?

We have Wdot to thank for that.

That was the verbal equivalent of a knockdown uppercut!

Who, us? Heaven forfend!

Just because the little ball of brierthorn has frequent trouble stringing the words together, doesn't mean she can't think - and that she *can* think is well-demonstrated.

Kind of... like this?


Atsali also had a moment like that, not that long ago... I just don't have/won't take the time needed to look for it...

YES. THIS. EXACTLY.

Recursive speech loops are extremely common in her age group. Their thoughts fly so fast, their mouths just can't keep up. It's not so much an impediment as a stage in speech development.

Also, it really isn't a reaction to what we think of as stress; it's more about now excited she is.
