Stuttering

Avea has been stuttering on and off for a couple of weeks now.  Today the stutter came back.  It was really bad.  I swear she said wha wha at least 12 times before "what" came out.  Of course there is something funny about this.  As she was asking me a question she started stuttering wh wh wh wh and on and on.  Finally she says "MAN, I CAN'T TALK TODAY" .  Sometimes I just have to laugh.  Actually, I always have to laugh.  Love my girl, and her funny disposition!!
