English Lesson

We attend church in an International School.  Relief Society is held in a 4th grade classroom.
As I was setting up for my lesson yesterday there were three random words written on the board.
pause
paws
pose
The word grouping didn't make 
sense to me at first.  
Of course I got the PAUSE and PAWS - 
but what was up with POSE??
Then it hit me ...
the children here are taught "proper English".
Most expats are from the UK or Australia.
If said in proper English form 
pause, paws & pose 
are all THREE homonyms. 
(Try it with your BEST English accent!)
It made me smile.
