     How many of these can you say without stumbling?

 

1.   Pad kid poured curb pulled cod.

 

2.   Brisk brave brigadiers brandished broad bright blades, blunderbusses, and bludgeons balancing them badly.

 

3.   If you must cross a coarse, cross cow across a crowded cow crossing, cross the cross cow across the crowded cow crossing carefully.

 

4.   "How can a clam cram in a clean cream can?"

 

5.   "Imagine an imaginary menagerie manager managing an imaginary menagerie."

 

6.   "Send toast to tense stout paints ten tall tents."

 

7.   Rory the warrior and Roger the warrior were reared wrongly in a rural brewery.

 

8.   Six sick hicks nick six slick bricks with picks and sticks.

 

9.   I wish to wish the wish you wish to wish, but if you wish the wish the witch wishes, I won't wish the wish you wish to wish.

 

10.   The 33 thieves thought that they thrilled the throne throughout Thursday.

 

11.   The sixth sick sheik sixth's sleeping sick.

 

12.   "Thirty-three-thirsty, thundering thoroughbreds  thumped Mr. Thurber on Thursday."

 

13.   I slit the sheet, the sheet I slit, and on the slitted sheet I sit.

 

14.   Red lorry, yellow lorry.

 

15.   Thirty-three thousand feathers on a thrushes throat.

 

16.   Round the rough and rugged rock the ragged rascal rudely ran.

 

17.  Two tiny timid toads trying to trot to Tarrytown.

 

18.   Ingenious iguanas improvising an intricate impromptu on impossibly impractical instruments.

 

19.   "Six sleek swans swam swiftly southwards."

I’m pretty good at tongue twisters, it just takes some concentration. I remember saying these as kids:

 

 Rubber baby buggy bumpers

 

A green gas glass globe

 

Around the rugged rocks, the ragged rascal ran 

 

And of course, she sells sea shells down by the sea shore

@Lindsays Grandma  I counted 9 the first time, 11 the second time, and 7 the third time! I am quitting before another drop in my numbers.😂

Betty Botter bought some 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 her batter was not bitter.

So 'twas better Betty Botter bought a bit of better butter.

 

This was my son's favorite Mother Goose rhyme!

Ha, this is my secret talent.  Too bad it is absolutely useless in daily life!  I can read these quickly with no problem, but who cares?
