Groundhogs-Woodchucks-Tongue Twisters

Thought Co.

You already know I’m weird. I thought I would share how my weird mind works, particularly so early in the morning trying to be quiet and not having any coffee yet –

I started thinking that I didn’t know much, if anything, about Groundhogs. When I looked it up, I found that they are mainly found on the East coast, Canada, and Alaska. Another name for groundhog is woodchuck. And THAT brought me memories of tongue twisters I used to love as a child.

Woodchuck

“How much wood would a woodchuck chuck
if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
He would chuck, he would, as much as he could,
and chuck as much wood as a woodchuck would
if a woodchuck could chuck wood.”

Others I remember –

“She sells seashells by the seashore.”

“Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear. Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair. Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn’t fuzzy, was he?”

And THESE remind me of coming up with a song to teach my first grade students phonics years ago. I played my guitar and we danced around the room singing. And THAT reminds me that I was called into the principal’s office (really) and told “Ms. Lewis. This is NOT a music class.”

Oh, well.

I think this foray into my weird mine signals that I could really use a cup of coffee.
