Tongue Twister of the Week

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!

Nursery Rhyme of the Week!!

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,



Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.



All the kings horses and all the kings men,



Couldn't put Humpty together again.

Happy Thanksgiving America!!

In the United States, Thanksgiving is on the fourth Thursday in November, which is today! On this day families not only have a great big turkey diner but also enjoy watching American football and the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade. It is also a time for shopping! Black Friday begins the morning after Thanksgiving!! There are lots of great shopping sales just in time for Christmas!

"Would You Rather"

Speaking of upcoming parties...A popular party game played in English is called "Would You Rather", and the rules are pretty simple.

First, you must choose two equally bad or good things (in your opinion)! For example...

BAD:
Eat a spider.
Drink a glass of vegetable oil.

GOOD:
Find true love.
Find $1,000,000.

Then you make a sentence like this:
Q. Would you rather eat a spider or drink a glass of vegetable oil?
Q. Would you rather find true love or find a million dollars?

The other people must ponder this dilemma, answer the question and say why!
A. I'd rather drink vegetable oil because some spiders can make you sick!
A. I'd rather find true love because it lasts forever. Money does not last forever!

Try it out, and get creative! Here are a few question ideas:

Would you rather:

Be 4'1 or 7'9"?
Live without music or live without T.V.?
Eat a bar of soap or drink a bottle of dishwashing liquid?
Be called a racist or a traitor to your country?
Lose your legs or lose your arms?
Have a beautiful house and ugly car or an ugly house and beautiful car?
Be blind or deaf?
Live in Antarctica or Death Valley?
In a fire, save a sibling or a stranger?
Be spanked or be put on a restriction (on your favorite thing to do)?
Eat sushi or liver?
Have 3 eyes or webbed feet?
Meet the president of the U.S. or Billy Graham?
Find true love or 1 million dollars?
Always have to say everything on your mind or never speak again?
Be gossipped about or never talked about at all?
Have stars in your eyes or eyes in the back of your head?
Have x-ray vision or bionic hearing?
