homonyms

the program ID for the TV series 'lobo' flashed onscreen and i asked my niece beside me what lobo was in english. she immediately replied "balloon." ooops...



i tried again saying, "it starts with W..."



she counters, "balloon... that's not W"



i explain, "yup, lobo is balloon but i'm not referring to that one. what animal starts with W?"



"whale?" (ha-ha-ha... battle of the brainless redux...)



i say, "no, the animal lobo. what angel (locsin) is in the show. what do you call it in english? it starts with W."



finally, my niece gets it, "ah... wolf!"



; )
