Homophones (Blakely style)

Today's lesson is on homophones. Those are words that sound exactly the same but have different meanings and often are spelled differently as well. Here are a few I pulled from our home...

Which-as in "Choose which one sounds better, doing what Mom said or going to bed...and I don't care if it's six pm!"
Witch-as in; It's always best Mommy gets plenty of rest or she'll look like a wicked witch.

Made-as in "Get that bed made!"
Maid-as in "I am not your maid!"

Morning-as in "You will clean your room in the morning."
Mourning-as in "You will clean your room in the morning, or you will be mourning over the loss of your favorite toys!"

no-as in "No, you can't ride four wheelers after you've sent your sister to the ER!"
NNNNOOOOO!!-as in "NNNNOOOOO!! You can't ride four wheelers after you've sent your sister to the ER, I've told you a hundred times already!"
