Isn't that "homophone"? Homonyms are spelled the same but pronounced differently, I think, like "record."
Love the last line, btw!
Darn ya, you're right! I goofed.
I would make a cheap joke about a homophone, but it wouldn't reflect my real outlook, so you can make one up on your own.
I'll take Rated R, please!
1. What is tick / trick?
2. What is brat / bat?
3. What is gave / grave?
4. What is teat / treat?
5. What is boor / boo?
6. What is boom / broom?
And Lisa takes the lead!
