Who needs a tongue?


As I have said in my previous posts about the mum, laughter really is the best medicine for her and the rest of us. The 'Who needs two legs' post is getting a whole bundle of hits from stumble. I am glad somebody is getting a laugh, that was the point after all! I wonder what they expected before they got to the post? Surely not me talking about the mum getting a leg lopped off?

Any how I have a new joke category to add to series of unfortunate events, can you guess from the post title? Yes the mum may now have an issue with her tongue! She went for a check up at the dental hospital. Instead of something simple it had to be serious. The dentist decided he didn't like the look of an abscess that had been on the underneath of the tongue for a while, so he sliced open the tongue and took a slice for a biopsy. So now it is being checked for pre cancerous cells, Happy Christmas to me. I have no idea what the outcome of that will be, but here is hoping for the best.

The funny side of my mind begins to think of other things. Like how can your possibly attempt an already difficult Tongue Twister without a tongue? Here is a selection of my favourite ones:

Betty Botter bought a bit of butter.
The butter Betty Botter bought was a bit bitter
And made her batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter
Makes batter better.
So Betty Botter bought a bit of better butter,
Making Betty Botter's bitter batter better.

I'm a sheet slitter
I slit sheets
If sheets need slitting,
Sheets I slit.

I am a mother pheasant plucker.
I pluck mother pheasants.
I am the most pleasant mother pheasant plucker,
to ever pluck a mother pheasant.
