Great teaser, I got them all.
I got them all too.
I got them But in Australia cease and tease rhyme (at least I think they do )
Another goodie for the under 12 crowd. Too EZ for adults.
Agreeing with doehead again--omg!
But I still found it fun!
American phonetics uses a soft s /s/ for cease (actually two /s/'s!) and a hard s /z/ for tease.

Cute, cute, cute. Easy but I enjoyed it.
No cognitvely intact adult should be patting him/herself on the back too much for solving this teaser, which was easy to the point of being like being the first player to move in a game of tic-tac-toe on a 2 X 2 matrix.
Cease and tease rhyme!
cease rhymes with peace and piece.
tease rhymes with peas.
tease rhymes with peas.
Maybe it's just how I say it I say cease and tease like fleas.
To the above person if they are still around. You say cease like fleas then it should be spelled seize. The two are very, very, different.
Even though it was easy as can be it was still fun. Hardly worth grumbling about.

Thankfully an easy one to solve, it's getting late.
Man, easy. Dibn't take me 10 seconds today. Usually I have to struggle on some of them.
Easy, didn't even break a sweat over this one.
Nice easy teaser for the little ones. A bit to easy for the grownups.

OOPS!!!! double hit
Yes this teaser was easy, but fun. I wish there had been more than 4 lines! Thanks for posting. Have a nice day all!
Agreed on the easy side, but I was in the mood for a teaser just like this one so it's perfect! On the other hand, this requires some imagination which not every brainiac possesses.
Who cares if t was easy?? It was fun, and someone took the time to make it, so quit crumbling, or don't try to do it. It is as simple as that!
Babe- you are spunky today. Nice to see your mean side show. That is why we love you !!!
Great one for the family. A few more would have been nice.
I loved this one! I DO NOT Think Babe showed a mean side. She is always right on and I like her comments. Doodles, shame on you - you remind me of a couple of other guys who used to complain all the time about repeats. As Babe said, if you don't like the puzzle, don't do it!
Thanks for posting this one !
Thanks for posting this one !
That was a lot of fun! Having the first few letters made it really easy, but this is also the first time I've gotten all of those right, so I'm not complaining!
Ez Pz!
Fun and entertaining teaser; I got them all but had to use the hint for the third one.
