I have the good fortune to drive my grandson to school at least once a week. His school is an hour's drive from here.
Fifteen minutes from where I "drop off the package" I wake him and give him a damp towel to dab his eyes.
He is, at age 7, an "A" student at a magnet school for math and science (Yeah - proud poppy).
To get his brain cranked up and in learning mode, we do tongue twisters. I googled up as many as possible and he reads them to me and I make him say my memorized ones.
I need new material - fast. This guy bores easily.
I you have any tongue twisters - old or new - please post them.
My favorite:
Theoropoulis Thistle, the thrifty thistle sifter, thrust three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb.
Thank you,
Dennis "tooter" Gray

Re: tongue twisters
A Tudor who tooted a flute
tried to tutor two tooters to toot.
Said the two to their tutor,
"Is it harder to toot
or to tutor two tooters to toot?"
and...
Which wristwatches are Swiss wristwatches?
and maybe when he's older...
I am not the pheasant plucker,
I'm the pheasant plucker's mate.
I am only plucking pheasants
'cause the pheasant plucker's running late.

Re: tongue twisters
You need unique New York.
Slippery southern snakes slide swiftly down ski slopes.
A big black bug bit a big black bear, made the big black bear bleed blood.
Moses supposes his toes-es are roses, but Moses supposes erroneously.
She sells seashells by the sea shore.
Mommy made me mash my mini-muffins.
A proper cup of coffee in a copper coffee cup.
Charlie chooses to chew choice chilled cherries.
Around the rough and rugged rock the ragged rascal ran.
The sea ceaseth and thus it sufficeth us.
Fresh fried fish, fresh fried fish, fresh fried fish.
Toy boat, toy boat, toy boat.
Red leather, yellow leather, red leather, yellow leather.
Thank you, theater warmups...man, I never thought I'd say that.
