~Tongue-Twistin' & Shoutin'~

If you were to visit my house today - you would hear some strange chants....my son got us tongue-twistin'!

It began as a challenge to mom and dad-"Betcha can't read this". Well, of course, mom and dad had to prove they could do it, and, better than the other. Within a couple of days, we were all tongue-twistin'. In fact, I had to giggle yesterday, as I unlocked my door, and, found myself saying "Who saw Esau sitting on a see-saw - E saw Esau sitting on a see-saw".

Why tell you? Because it is a simple thing in life, that, I am sure it's been a while since you have tried. We have had fun doing it, and, it is good practice at memorization and pronounciation for the little ones. It has become a treasured time of giggles and fun for us that we can do on our way to the store, library, or anywhere.

So, nothing too deep today ya'll - just a little bit of family fun, which, we all need to add to our often too busy and stress-filled lives.

Do a search of tongue twisters, or, try these few - and, before you know it you will be Tongue-Twistin' and Shoutin' with a smile on your face, and that red light won't irritate you so much!

**A skunk sat on a stump and thunk the stump stunk, but the stump thunk the skunk stunk.

**A big black bug bit a big black bear, made the big black bear bleed blood.

**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.

**Friendly Frank flips fine flapjacks.

**Fat frogs flying past fast.

And, the family favorite: Who saw Esau sitting on a see-saw, E saw Esau sitting on a see-saw.
