Tongue Twister. By Gene W. Edwards. Posted 1/3/2024.

Say . . .

Free-throwed three-toed, tree toad tree times backwards. Say it!

You can’t, can you? Say that backwards!

And the answer is, “taht,” which is that backwards; sounds like “tat.”

Furthermore, you didn’t follow directions. You only needed to say the one sentence forwards, including the word “backwards,” because I asked you to say it “tree” times, not three times. So now just say it once, all of it forwards.

“Free-throwed three-toed, tree toad tree times backwards.” That’s all you need to say, one time, forwards — unless you want to practice that tongue twister a few times.

Sappy New Ear,

Gene.
