One night Josiah asked for help with a language arts school assignment ...homophones.
Once he explained what they were, and gave a few samples to get the mind juices moving, we just went to town homophoning...and I mean for hours...while I cooked dinner...while he did his math homework...while I got the littles ready for bed (and I must confess...for days afterwards!). We laughed uproariously and quite uncontrollably as we racked our brains thinking of more and more and more. We tried them out on all household members...they came from all corners of the house wanting to know just what was sooooo funny. Then they either joined in, also laughing hysterically, or walked away shaking their heads at just how ridiculously silly we were getting!
Maybe its just us -- no, maybe its just me (because I have always loved words so much...voracious childhood reader...journalism major in college here), but they tickle us so. I'm grinning just thinking about them right now. Earlier today I was laughing out loud in my car as I remember several of them.
So, just what are homophones? Here are a few...(by the way...feel free to share any you come up with as well). They absolutely delight me and Josiah! Matter of fact, if you try these out in your house or on your friends, they are guaranteed to be contagious......well, maybe at least to one other person...and of course, that would be the one with the best sense of humor! ;o)
Here we go...
1) What do you call a naked forest animal?
2) What do you call a man who exchanges basements for money?
3) What to you call an untrustworthy feline?
4) What does a vegetarian do when she's fallen off the wagon?
Another giggly (and blurrrryyy) photo to keep the answers at bay for a moment...
Answers:
1) A bare bear!
2) A cellar seller!
3) A lyin' lion!
4) Meet meat!
Hahahahahahahahahhaha...hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...whoooo hooooooo (catching my breath) hahahahahahahahahahaha...hahahahahahahahahahahaha!
I just love homophones...but not as much as I love Josiah! Thanks for the laughs Josie!
Much Love. Take Care.
