Tongue Twisters
So, I have a few favorite tongue twisters that I love to impress my kids with. I'm always game to learn a new one, so comment if you have a doozy. Here are mine:
From my Mother:
Betty Botter bought some butter
But, she said, this butter's bitter
If I put it in my batter
it will make my batter bitter.
But I think it would be better
if I bought some better butter
So it was that Betty Botter
bought a bit of better butter.

From a Nursery Rhyme book I have:
Moses supposes his toeses are roses,
but Moses supposes erroneously
For nobody's toeses are posies of roses
As Moses supposes his toeses to be.

And from my high school Spanish class:
Paco Peco, chico rico,
insulto de modo loco
a su tio Frederico,
y le dijo
"Paco Peco, poco a poco
poco pico!"
Translation:
Paco Peco, a little rich kid,
insulted in a crazy way
his uncle Frederico
and he said
"Paco Peco, little by little,
your little beak!" (that's slang for something like shut your mouth or I'll shut it for you)

And from the International Tongue Twisters Database, a Hebrew one:
NACHASH NASHACH NACHASH SHE NASHACH NACHASH.
Translation:
A snake bit a snake who bit a snake.
