It really bothered me when I was younger though, it used to be painful when I talked too much, and I used to Beckshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12764693424856370645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12347325.post-5762294926716091662008-08-08T09:47:00.000-07:002008-08-08T09:47:00.000-07:00If it is affecting his speech, I'd say do it.
