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.
Wow, it's not fork, huh? Cool, I get another guess! So... maybe "bike"? It kinda sounds like that the second time she speaks.

Is it "milk"?

I'm going with 'block'. But 'homeostasis' would have been my second guess...

You know, it would be hilarious if what she was saying was 'blog'.
Posted by: google addict | September 29, 2006 at 06:47 PM
My new guess is "cookie", since "homeostasis" was incorrect.

Dang...Watch, Book and Homeostasis were wrong?? How about "cup"? if its not cup then the terrorists have already won.
Skunks and tires??

futz? butt? book? soap? cup? FOOT! My first word was "Five" so I'll throw that in there as well. Buck? Are we allowed to guess that many times? Look?

Here's my 2 cents.... Is it wipe?

I think she's saying "Parking Ticket".
Logic: Lovely summer day, returning to the car to have Looky Daddy reach around the windshield, and loudly proclaim "Parking Ticket" (with a word that shounds more like "luck", of course). As the chorus begins in the backseat, sheepishly, Looky Daddy carries on like it's, uh, actually the right name for that thing.
No, I don't have any experience with this in real life, why do you ask?

For all you newcomers, I should note that the contest is actually over. Barista found it a little too late. But I hope you like the site and keep checking back. There will be many more contests in the future.

And you can find the answer on October 2nd's entry.

I think she is saying truck

Fork.
My wife's cousin tells a funny story about her daughter who, for whatever reason, said her "s"s as "f"s for a brief period when she was very little.
One time mom calls in to her daughter, who's watching TV, and tells her to go get her shoes since they were going to the store. She hears her daughter but gets no response.
She calls again and says "Please get your shoes!"
Her daughter says "fock off mommy!"
Mom says "What?!".
Daughter says "fock off!"
Mom freezes. She thinks hard and wonders if she might have let her guard down and let something slip out.
"Fock off mommy!" the daughter says again.
Mom rushes in, prepared to have "the talk" about swearing, to find the child, sitting with her shoes, holding up her sock.
"Fock off mommy, could you please put it back on for me?"
Mom says "oh thank god!"
