tongue twisters
Posted: Mon Nov 24, 2008 1:25 pm
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
