Your word is "beezentweezle"

TD is three and loves to learn. He also invents his own games, the latest of which is Spelling.

Like any other spelling bee, you can ask for your word's origin, definition, and example in a sentence. Because he makes up all of the words on the spot, this can be highly amusing all by itself. If he approves your spelling of the word, he continues to the next. If not, you're treated to his version of an error buzzer.

Our vocabularies have now been broadened by:
• beezentweezle
• crisptastrophe
• fixafilie
• Godendectomy
• Brazillowax
• sproutitude
• screamologist
• vegetwinkilookian

Most of the words have something to do with what the rest of us are talking about at the time. We all have fun with it, and I think TD actually learns more about spelling and pronunciation in the process.

Three cheers for the imagination of children!
