Homophones: Flower versus Flour

So today starts what I hear is the greatest week ever: Teacher Appreciation Week. Today was flower day, tomorrow is drink day, wednesday is snack day, thursday is note day and friday we get breakfast from the PTA. Now here's the thing, Trevor is a boy and I am a girl. Silly for me to have to state this but for some reason it became TOTALLY clear. Close your eyes, oh wait, open them back up. Imagine this I'm writing names for homework collection up on the board when I am handed sunflowers. Two beautiful sunflowers. I'm totally taken aback and smiling that I missed the important event that makes this story AWESOME. In meeting, I am thanking this student for the flowers then suddenly it comes out that Trevor got flour. Yes, I meant flour.. Ya know 3 cups of FLOUR in bread? He got flour in a bag. Because Trevor is a boy he must not like flowers right? WRONG. He later stated to me that he would have liked some flowers. Now, I will give our student some credit for understanding the tricky Homophones... And so I leave you with this awesome youtube video that actually describes homophones perfectly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0VpP7VxtYg
