Dinner Conversation

This is a realy conversation that took place last night at our dinner table. I am sure it is not going to sound as it did last night, but I just had to share it with everyone. Especially all my teacher friends.

H: Hannah
C: Courtney
J: John

C: Hannah, tell daddy what you told me about words being the same today
H: High and Pie are the same daddy
J: The same?
C: she means they sound the same, they rhyme
J: How do you figure?
C: WHAT??
J: How do you figure? High / pie
C: WHAT???? high /i/ and pie /i/
J: h-i-g-h and p-i-e (soelling out)
C: it doesn't matter how it's spelled, they rhyme, sound the same
J: oh yeah, right right, rhyme

Hello, am I talking with my dad? Does he really not know what rhyming words are? He can find a disease in grass with a quick look, but can't rhyme words?!:?!!
