Tongue Twisters.

Nothing like a tongue twister to bring a smile to our faces.
Here is one for this Easter Sunday.
Betty Botter bought a bit of butter.
The bit of butter Betty Botter bought was bitter.
Said Betty Botter:
"If I buy a bit of better butter, it will make my bitter butter better".
So Betty Botter bought a bit of better butter and her bitter butter was better!

This is a true real-life tongue twister.
In Ireland there's a tradition that when a person dies, a month later the family will request a Mass be offered for the deceased soul. It is commonly known as a Months Mind.
This particular woman who's elderly mother had recently passed away, asked me if I could contact a priest who I knew quite well and ask if he would offer Mass for her deceased mother.
I had the priest's number at home so I called him. After about three fumbling attempts I finally got stating my request to the priest. I asked him if he would be the celebrant at Maggie Mounts mother's months mind Mass.

Odhiambo, it's one of those things that could only occur in Ireland haha.
The priest saw the funny side too.

What I find funny is the way I am struggling to say the sentence and am completely unable. Anyone listening would be forgiven for thinking I am speaking a strange language, not English at all.
That was a really good one Martin. I am sure to pass it on.

Congratulations Patricia.
I think the trick is to say it as if you are narrating it to someone else; it flows quite naturally then

Kipi kikusikitishacho?
I know, very unfair of me.
It is a swahili one for "What is making you unhappy"?
It is a real tongue twister that one, even to the speakers of the language which I am not.
