Tasha's terrific tongue twisters Here are the words to some of the traditional tongue twisters -- kids have loved them for generations!  Er, I've learned from experience that just because you've heard them to death it doesn't mean you shouldn't share them with your kids!

Betty Botter had some butter,
"But," she said, "this butter's bitter.
If I bake this bitter butter,
it would make my batter bitter.

better than her bitter butter,
and she baked it in her batter,
and the batter was not bitter.
So 'twas better Betty Botter
bought a bit of better butter.
