Alphabet Pal

Zane has this toy caterpillar that has a letter on each leg. When you press a leg it sounds out the letter (P = "puh", S = "ssss"). When you try to make it spell a bad word it giggles and says "that tickles!"

Zane inadvertently (I presume) spelled a bad word and made the Alphabet Pal giggle. And somehow he made it keep giggling. And it made him giggle. Then he pressed another leg and the giggling was gone. He got upset that it wouldn't giggle and looked to me for assistance.

What to do? Teach him to spell fuh...uh...kuh?

"ASS" is easiest.

Bethany - you're almost right. You only have to push the A and the S, which is pretty easy. But I discovered this morning that you can push the F and the C to induce giggles and those legs are very close together!
