Homonym Fun

Kiki Aru came home asking help on a brain teaser question in her English Class.





KA: Mom, you know what homonyms are, don't you?





Me: Yes, I know what homonyms are. A homonym is one of a group of words that share the same pronunciation but have different meanings, and are usually spelled the same.





KA: Well, I need to find out what "A Golden Society" would be.





Me: Let's see.......Hm-m-m-m-m.............What could it be?....Boy, this is kind of tough......No, you don't have to wait until you dad gets home, I'll get it!!!...Oh, I know....A Gild Guild.

Wait, maybe if we add another part to it, you can get additional extra points...How about this?





A Golden Fish Society


A Gild Gilled Guild!!!




This is a true story. It just happened moments ago here in the living room.
