Scientifically when you speak, or when you read rapidly, repeating letters that should be pronounced differently, your muscles and/or neurons want to repeat the same action...what that really means is, your tongue gets twisted! This happens to me all the time.
So this week's thursday 13 is...
Tongue twisters...13 of 'em in fact:
1- Through three cheese trees three free fleas flew.
While these fleas flew, freezy breeze blew.
Freezy breeze made these three trees freeze.
Freezy trees made these trees' cheese freeze.
That's what made these three free fleas sneeze.
2- A twister of twists once twisted a twist;
A twist that he twisted was a three-twisted twist;
If in twisting a twist one twist should untwist,
The untwisted twist would untwist the twist.
3- Tie twine to three tree twigs.
4- Seven slick slimey snakes slowly sliding southward.
5- I wish to wash my Irish wristwatch.
6- He threw three free throws.
7- How many sheets could a sheet slitter slit if a sheet slitter could slit sheets?
8- Seven sleazy shysters in sharkskin suits sold sheared sealskins to seasick sailors.
9- Shut up the shutters and sit in the shop.
10- Fresh fried fish, fish fresh fried, fried fish fresh, fish fried fresh.
11- She is a thistle-sifter. She has a sieve of unsifted thistles and a sieve of sifted thistles and the sieve of unsifted thistles she sifts into the sieve of sifted thistles because she is a thistle-sifter.
12- Tim, the thin twin tinsmith.
13- Sally sells sea shells by the sea shore. But if Sally sells sea shells by the sea shore then where are the sea shells Sally sells?
