Give a little whistle!
« on: February 23, 2015, 11:43:55 AM »
When you get in trouble and you don't know right from wrong,
Give a Little Whistle, Give a Little Whistle.
When you meet temptations and the urge is very strong
Give a Little Whistle! Give a Little Whistle.
Not Just a little squeak, pucker up and blow.
And when your Whistle's weak, yell, "Jiminy Cricket!"

:whistle:

I tried teaching myself to whistle better when I was a teenager, with some decent success. I can whistle out a tune with medium-soft loudness. But I wish I could do one of those loud "call for the dog on the other side of the field" type whistles. Not gonna happen.

How's about you? :whistle:

My whistle comes and goes. Sometimes I can whistle a tune with no problems. Other times I can't give a single whistling call to my dogs. Weird!  :huh:

I love whistling. Growing up, my favorite song to whistle with was Wind of Change.

I can actually whistle between my teeth as well which use to get me in trouble as a child when I would whistle a song during silent reading time. I wouldn't even realize I was whistling until the teacher would ask who was whistling and walk up and down the rows looking for who was whistling. You can't see me do it so when I realized she was looking for me I'd stop and keep reading. I'm sure it made her angry but it wasn't on purpose I was just enjoying a book that needed some music to it. :/

Now I have coworkers that will randomly should across the halls "Fox you're whistling"

It took me a very long time (until I was a teenager) to be able to make any sort of noise. Now though I can make a nice noise and make a tune but not for very long.

I used to be able to whistle REALLY loudly but now I can only really manage a sort of soft whistle. I can do tunes though, usually whistling 'Taps' in a defeatist fashion before doing something I'd rather not do. :P

I can whistle a tune quite loudly and I love to do so.  I am not an amazing whistler or anything, but it does beat my singing voice.

As a kid, I could whistle awesomely.  4 teeth out and 2 yrs of braces, and that fixed that.  Sigh...

I can whistle tunes and very loudly.  It took me awhile to learn to do a regular whistle but every since have enjoyed whistling tunes quite a bit.  I can also do a really loud whistle for calling animals, getting peoples' attention or cheering  :biggrin: .   :accomplished: It took me until about 6th grade to learn it and the day I could finally do it, I couldn't stop myself most of the day and it started to annoy the friends with whom I was hanging.  It's the same loud whistle my mom can do and she tried for years to teach me and I finally got it.  I love being able to do it hehe.

oh my gosh, I have to tell you this:

My 5yo figured out how to whistle this summer. My 20-something sister CANNOT whistle. For Christmas, it was my 5yo's idea to give her aunt a whistle and a coupon for whistle lessons. OH MY WORD.

My kid is hilarious  :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

I can whistle fantastically. I get the cardinals going all the time and can carry a tune.

I've tried for YEARS to whistle and can't.  Not one little bit.  My grandfather always tried to teach me and we finally settled on blowing on the sides of a thick blade of grass held between two thumbs.  It makes a whistling sound!  That's as close as I can get.

I also can't wink... at all.
