Tongue Twister

This weekend, we headed to Barnes and Noble so the kids could spend some gift certificates they had.  Jacob is really into joke books and the like so he decided to spend part of his money on World’s Toughest Tongue Twisters.

Once we got to the car, he started asking Dave and I to repeat the twisters he gave us.  The first one was…

Bad black bran bread.
Bad black bran bread.
Bad black bran bread.

Dave’s attempt went down in flames.  He couldn’t even get it out one time.  As I laughed he said “Fine, you do it!” I then proceeded to pull off that tongue twister with such finesse and speed that statues should be erected in my honor.

Dave was amazed.  He told Jake to give me the next one. This is what Jacob said…

I bought a bit of baking powder and baked a batch of biscuits.
I brought a big basket of biscuits back to the bakery and baked a basket of big biscuits.
Then I took the big basket of biscuits and the basket of big biscuits and mixed the big biscuits with the basket of biscuits that was next to the big basket and put a bunch of biscuits from the basket into a biscuit mixer and brought the basket of biscuits and the box of mixed biscuits and the biscuit mixer to the bakery and opened a tin of sardines.

All of us busted out laughing and said “O.k. GO!”

Yay right!  Like I was going to remember that whole thing.  So I launched into the only long tongue twister that I know…

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck
If a woodchuck could chuck wood?
A woodchuck would chuck all the wood a woodchuck could chuck
If a woodchuck could chuck wood!

Dave and Jake were unimpressed.  I have a sneaking suspicion that I need to start memorizing that biscuit diddy because there could be a challenge thrown at any time.
