Patients vs Patience

For Family Home Evening Jeff decided that he was going to teach the kids about patience. I personally found a lot of humor in this (not that Jeff is not extremely patient, but just that I realized that it would take a lot of patience to teach the kids this concept). I thought Jeff was doing real good at explaining the concept and then JJ jumped in with "a hospital has a lot of patients". Jeff responded, "This is patience - like meaning waiting with a good attitude, not patients - people in a hospital." Then JJ responds, "that is a homophone right dad?"...

Arghh, sometimes teaching seems to be more work than it should be!
