My 10 yr old was speaking today, and it came out as jumbled words that i didn't understand. he immediately said what he meant to say and moved on. this is the only time this has happened. worrisome?

Yes: If this recurs or if any other unusual occurrences manifest themselves would take him to the pediatrician and have him thoroughly examined. Also make sure he does not have access to drugs or unusual plant substances. Watch carefully, check out with whom he has been associating.

No: I dont think so but if it happens again , i would definitely check with the doctor . I m assuming that the kid did not have any other symptoms apart from this.

Not to worry, but : He could be trying to learn a foreign language from one of his bilingual friends at school!
