Antonyms

A few weeks ago we introduced Dominic to what 'antonyms', 'synonyms', and 'homonyms' are, and he's fascinated by the concept.

Since then, every time he discovers a new pair of antonyms, or synonyms, or homonyms, he'd walk up to us and say something like, 'Daddy I know a homonym -- three like the number 3, and tree the plant'.

One day:

Dominic: Daddy, what's the opposite of house?

Daddy: (No clue) What?

Dominic: (joking) An upside down house, or an un-house.
