Guess the Word, Win a Prize!

This is one of those posts I know I'll get in trouble for, but I feel strongly that if I don't post it, then the terrorists have already won.

Lila leaned a new word today. Can you guess what it is? Play the movie to hear it.

Can you guess what object she's trying to name? Guess correctly and you might win a fabulous prize!

Submit your idea in the comments section. I'll be collecting submissions through the weekend and on Monday, October 2nd, I'll draw a random winner from all the correct entries received. The winner will receive an almost one-of-a-kind autographed 6th-birthday CD edition of Kathryn's Luau Party Mix.

All I ask is that you keep your entries clean. Just because it sounds like my one-year-old has a potty mouth is no reason for you to follow suit.

Good luck,

The Dad

Guess The Word Update: Thank you all for your delightful and creative guesses. This has been even more fun than I had imagined! But unbelievably, as of 7:00 AM Friday morning, none of the guesses are correct. (Actually, it's not really that unbelievable. I mean, if I didn't know what she was saying, there'd be no way I'd guess it.) As I wrote in the post, I'm going to keep it open through the weekend, but I will make one change: If nobody has guessed the word by Sunday night, then I'll randomly select one of the existing guesses to win the fabulous prize. I mean, this prize is WAY too fabulous to not give away! So keep those guesses coming and good luck!

And it is possible that Lila has a bit of a lisp, if that helps.

Is it "fox"?

[Help]

I can't play the movie. Help!

[The Dad]

On some browsers, you may need to click the play button twice. Hope this helps.

[Help]

Got it. I'm with Paula. I think it's fox.

[Sue]

Is she supposed to be saying the same word three times in a row? It sounds like three different words. If I only get one guess, I'll say "foot".

[The Mom]

With such a wonderful prize, I want to play too. I can never hear the theme to Hawaii-Five-O too often. But I already know what she's saying: "Faust." As in, my daddy has made a deal with the devil. :-)

[mom of twins]

My first guess is..."fork". What a cutie!

[The Dad]

It is the same word three times, but it does sound a little off each time. And you are welcome to guess as many times as you wish.

[Anne Prince]

I think it's fork as well

[Kate]

I'm going with "funk" as in George Clinton and the Parliment Funk-a-delic. They are never too young to learn about Funk.

I think my Nick now has a crush on Lila, though. He wants to watch the video over and over and over and over..

[Jonathan's Mum]

My guess is "fork" but I might be wrong. It could be Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious...

[Diane]

I think it's "fork," too. Too bad I wasn't the first to guess that if it's right--I do a mean limbo to luau music.

[The Gmama]

I, too, thought she said "fork". But,since I have the inside track to The Dad, I asked for an early ruling - incorrect answer. He hints that The Word does not start with "f".

[Frances]

I think she is saying truck.

[Simone]

Or possibly "fire truck" without all those extra in-between letters.

[Kate]

Could it be "duck?"

[Niki and Katie]

Niki and Katie vote for "book."

[The Dad]

I also had Jane (if that's her real name) email me guessing "book", so I'll throw that in the running, too.

The plot thickens...

[Django's mommy]

Oh, she totally said "homeostasis". Duh!

[JH]

I say it's "watch". I have twins who are just beginning to talk, and it really, really sounds like "watch" to me.

[Blaine]

I thought it was "truck" right after I finished it for the first time, so that's what I'll go with. But, you really have some creative listeners out there...

The Godfather (of Kathryn)

[The Godfather]

Or... maybe she said "buck."

[Mangocam]

Another vote for book :-)

[Sue]

My new guess is "sock".

[Susan]

My 3 yr. old son thinks she is saying "fudge".
