    Default Name a Tongue Twister

    Name a tongue twister. It can be a favorite old standby like "TOY BOAT," you can make one up or you can repeat one that you discovered accidentally like I did trying to talk today. Try it 5 times fast. If you can do it right then hats off to you and I'll go to the back of the class!:

    "RIGHT REAR WHEEL"

    "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Matthew 6:19-21

    How about the old standbys:

    She sells sea shells by the seashore.

    Or

    Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers

    Did Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled peppers

    If Peter Piper picked a peck of picked peppers

    How many pickled peppers did Peter Piper pick
    The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.



    He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh:


    Psalms 2:2-4a

    "Furry Furby beanie babies" drove me totally up the wall, I kept getting worse and worse as I trie dto say it when talking to my good friend's nephew some 4-6 years ago. ANd, I was talking normal!

    Just the name Herbert Hoover totally confuzzled an announcer introducting him one day when he was President.
    John 3:16 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.

    Default Funny you should ask...

    I wrote a story once; the main idea was to try and tell a story with tongue-twister type sentences.

    Here it is for all to enjoy. Read it aloud, if you dare

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Cat Got Your Tongue?


    Early one morning as the rooster mustered up for his morning mayhem I awoke suddenly to the sound of slamming shutters. The wind whipped ragingly wreaking havoc on the willows.

    I slid sitting on a sheet down the spiral staircase step by step. I crept into the cream-colored kitchen looking for one last lick of my licorice lollipop. But instead, hunkered eerily eating happily was proud papa, dipping his dotted soupspoon in his cereal. He pointed a fine bony finger forward toward the dripping, frothy coffee and coughed, “Give papa a cup of proper coffee in a copper coffee cup.”

    I pleaded with papa passionately; citing studies showing certainly that frothy coffee causes several common side effects. “Surely you see the sheer silliness of it.” So we agreed a great way to lessen our aggression was a swift stroll straight to Swenson’s Safari.

    While we were walking, we were watching window-washers wash Washington's windows with warm washing water. Across the park a ways were six slick sick slim sycamore saplings. Nearby, sitting slightly centered on a slab of cement, Jake gave Kate cake and Kate gave Jake cake, while they listened to the local yokel yodel.

    Papa pondered pensively, peering at Jake and Kate’s cake. But Jake and Kate’s cake stayed secure, since out of nowhere appeared a red wet pet rabbit with a hankering for my knapsack straps. I tell you, he bit straight through, and my knapsack straps flapped flat. I shouted in sheer and sudden shock, “These exact knapsack straps are unique to New York! We need a Tragedy strategy!”

    Papa and me made a getaway, but not before taking a taste of Jake and Kate’s cake.

    We ran frantic from the wet pet red rabbit to catch the next chance of transport to New York. As we neared New York we saw six silver swinging signs:

    Friendly Frank’s Fine Flipped Flapjacks.
    Old Oily Ollie’s Old Oily Autos.
    Sam's Short Spotted Socks Shop.
    Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers.
    Sally’s Seashells (why is Sally’s Seashell Shop Setup Here? I thought she sells seashells down by the seashore. Silly Sally.)

    Then I saw the sixth silver swinging sign I sought. It said simply, “Knapsack Straps”.

    The wise miserly manager watched many patrons patiently picking their purchases. I attacked the rack of the exact knapsack straps I lacked.

    Before I handed them to the wise miserly manager, I remarked, “I wonder whether lesser leather would weather wetter weather.”

    She smiled shiftily and said, “Lesser leather never weathered wetter weather better. But no matter, we surely shall see the sun shine soon.”

    Before I knew it my knapsack straps were back in action. Papa and me made a break for the lake to celebrate. Wouldn’t you know it, we ran into Sally. She must have several Seashell Shops.

    Remember:

    But if Moses supposes his toses are roses than roses his toses is what Moses wants them to be.

    Unique New York

    For some people it comes out as "Unique You Nork".
    Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1

    In the event of darkness, depression, sadness, or loneliness, your Bible can be used as a flotation device.
