A quiz of Toddler Verbage. Leave your comment with your answers. No cheating--in other words: no looking at grandmas' answers. I will, however, give one hint per entry, but only one. Simply ask for it in a comment by telling me the number you are desperately struggling with. Hints may include, but are not limited to, definitions, using in a sentence, pronunciation. Tip: I did not say that it was against the rules to read other contestants' hints... I know what you're thinking, What's in it for me? Right? I will tell you. The winner--that would be the commenter with the most correct answers (sillies)--gets to choose a post from the list. Can you believe it??? How exciting! I'm tingling all over I'm so excited and I'm not even entering! I can't even imagine what you're doing. Maybe I don't want to...
Well, I won't keep you. After all, you have much work to do.

dick&erica - i have the auntie advantage
abba - i'm changing my answer to #9 to "lightning mcqueen" and can i get a hint for #3?
You shouldn't need a hint for #3...it's right up your alley. (That is your hint. Clever, huh?)
I got in on this a little late because I'VE BEEN MARRIED TO CVJH FOR THE PAST WEEK AND HAVEN'T CHECKED A SINGLE BLOG, cooked a single meal, slept a single wink, nor WATCHED A SINGLE HGTV SHOW!
Here are my answers:
1. airport
2. orders like at Wendy's?

I want to change my #2 to Over there, as in "Where's your shoe, Max?" "It's o-ders." Brilliant. I know.
i thought that was it; just checkin my answers. i think mom got #2 though. she IS pretty brilliant, after all. but i can't change my answer, cause that would be cheating.
I'll give you a hint, nobody got number 2. And the only other people who would know what number two is can't read this blog or else they would be in trouble. There's another hint within a hint. Clever, huh!?

Ok. I know I am late in this game, but I have been without a computer at home for the past month, and it has been hard for me to squeeze in all my "personal work" into my "real work" day.
Looks like the most controversy has come from 'ol #2. I am guessing... OTHERS.
Unfortunately, this is all I have time to weigh in on.
Abby, this was a really hard test!! I am sure I will be able to master this after NEXT WEEK!!! SOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!
Love,
Jenny
new guess for #2 "hors de vours" (no idea how to actually spell it) max is a pretty sophisticated kid, after all, what with his finger in his nose...
:)
This is a post from Melinda until she gets her computer connected. This is hard, but I must give credit where credit is due!
"I got it, I got it!!! Number 2 is..... (drum roll...) ELDERS! did you even doubt Aunt Mel? I'm so smart!"
oh i'm totally changing my #2 to elders.
Me, too. #2 is elders for sure! We should have guessed that really fast because of how often you guys have the missionaries over. Way to go, Melinda!
Daddy's guesses:
1. The place we go to get to YOU-ta
2. If we're cleaning the house, it must mean that oder Schmidt and oder Leung-Wai are coming over!
3. Museum...
4. The Hopkins' dog: Malcom
5. "Come here mommy, I need to tell you suh-een."
6. "Can we go to the zoo with our zoo cass duhday (another great word that should have been on here)?
7. The old guy in Star Wars.
8. Where Max would live if his wish of becoming a mermaid came true-a mermaid lagoon.
9. He creates feelings within others that they themselves don't understand. He's Lightning McQueen!!
10. If Max's other true wish of becoming a princess comes true, hopefully he will be rescued by a knight in shiny ahmer.
11. If I'm doing well so far, give me two thcums up!
12. A favorite treat. I'll go with either red vines or red ropes. Definitely not twizzlers.
13. merry-go-round. nothing exciting to say about that one.
14. Along with suh-een, my other favorite. Esgo to da store! Esgo to church. Esgo, esgo!
15. A missing clownfish who needs to be found!
16. Time to roll up your sleebs and get to work.
17. After your sleebs are rolled up, remember to wizzle while you work.
18. Max's favorite benchtables are definitely leaves. He also likes tomatoes too.
19. Any person who: is younger than Max, doesn't talk, doesn't walk, sleeps in a crib, and he can't really play with. Like bay Perry.
20. I have to admit, I had to give Abby to have Abby give me the pronunciation before I got this because it's a bit deceiving. This is what Max likes to read before he goes to bed. Maybe it could also be written: b-oooo-uh-k.
Could it be? I missed my chance to enter by mere hours?! I was so excited to be the first to correctly guess #4, only to scroll down and see that all the answers had already been revealed. I guess that will learn me not to take two weeks to enter your next contest. Lucky for me, I'm sure Max has plenty more material for future posts. Thanks for sharing the fun!
Beauk is french, duh...
