H is starting to learn that some words sound alike but have different meanings, uh, there's a technical term for this I believe it's homophone. Anyway, H is sitting on Dad's lap at the dining room table this morning. "Out?!" he says with equal parts indignation and interrogation. "Yes" I assure him, "Daddy knows you want to go out." He immediately starts jabbing at his face with his pointer finger. Dad laughs hysterically. "You're right," he tells him, "that's H's nose and this is Daddy's nose." I didn't understand as quickly as Dad did, but apparently, H confused knows with nose... well at least we know he's listening.

The nose knows. Homophones sound alike.
