Nafasplitch!
A while back Bug and I invented a game. We call it Nafasplitch. I’m not sure how we settled on that name. I think it was just a combination of mishearing each other while we were driving in the car, cracking up about it and then making up a word out of the connected sounds that were supposed to be something else. Or not. I don’t really remember.
Anyway the game goes like this: You think up four random words and try to out-do each other with their random whackyness.
For example:
Hair dryer scissor head!
Cucumber flavored candle medicine!
It’s best if you exclaim it loudly like you’re saying, “Oh yeah, well marker pen flamingo neck to you too!”
And it just goes on and on until you are laughing at each other. Bug LOVES this game.
We’ve even got a few family members playing too. To start, somebody just says the word “nafasplitch” and then it’s off to the races with whoever can come up with the funniest word combinations. I figure it will be good for her vocabulary.
Of course sometimes the game does not go well and someone just names off four things they see in a row ie: wall cat desk paper which is totally boring but then you just add the word butt and it’s funny again.
So, you wanna play?

“then you just add the word butt and it’s funny again.” SO TRUE.

(Also, these made-up things sound like inside jokes. Which could be awesome or annoying, depending on one’s point of view.)

Funny how those made-up games become family legend, isn’t it? Don’t ask anyone in my family if they would care for a banana, or you might get a look so hard it’ll fry you, snarfblatt kingdome giggle plumage.

Sounds like an awesome game! Especially if you love cheese flavored monkey pants.

We have a made up game too. It’s “you have” fill in the blank “on your head”. We go back and forth. The kids love it, yes, even Nathan. But of course it always degenerates to you have poo poo on your head. :)

I love this! My mom and I had sock puppets in the car we would make dance to music when we drove to school. Glitter, splendorous, thunder, biscuit!

You know what this makes me think of…in one of the Harry Potter books (I think the first one), when Dumbledore says he has a few words he’d like to say, and then he says, “Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak! Thank you,” and sits down.

Like Chocolate covered watermelon? the kids love saying that all the time, despite the fact that it wouldn’t taste so great. They say all kinds of funny stuff.. well… for fun!
