Homophones (Sort Of)
Our children take delight in homonyms and homophones. Misha told me two of his own jokes today as we drove to school. They're not all that funny, but he liked them a lot.Why did the monkey need some coffee?
Because he had a cough.
Why did the hippo do the hip-hop?
Because his name sounds like "hip-hop."
Other "homophones" that the children have either noticed or that have caused confusion are:
taxes
Texas
algae
LG (a cell phone manufacturer)
ivy
IV
The last one was a big issue with Luda. When she had adenoid surgery last summer, she looked around the room for plants, but to her dismay found out that they were bringing needles and a bag of saline solution instead!
