INTERNATIONAL TONGUE TWISTER DAY !

From NationalToday.com

 

 International Tongue Twister Day celebrated every second Sunday in November don't get your tongue tied this November 10. We're not talking about rolling or curling your taste-tester in fact we're looking at Peter Piper, the woodchuck and all their friends. Tongue twisters are a silly way to pass the time or practice pronunciation. Shoot you can even use them to practice pronunciation. Shoot you can even use them to practice a foreign language ! It's time to celebrate all the twisty things you can  say with your tongue.

 

 

How much wood can a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck

could chuck wood?

 

Got a Tongue twister to share?

@Goodie2shoes  "She sells sea shells by the sea shore." I've never been able to say this one and even typing it was hard with all of the "s" letters 😅

Betty Botter bought a bit of butter

But she said the butter's bitter.

If I put it in my batter

It will make my batter bitter.
So she bought a bit of butter 

Better than her bitter butter

And she put it in her batter

And it made her batter better. 
So 'twas better Betty Botter

Bought a bit of better butter!

I said it right the first time but it wasn't terribly fast. I never heard that one either.

@Goodie2shoes   Fun thread!  Don't know if this qualifies, but...

 

A fly and a flea in a flue

Were imprisoned so what could they do?

"Let us fly," said the flea.

"Let us flee," said the fly.

So, they flew through a flaw in the flue.
