Halloween Homonym

Homonyms are words that sound the same but are spelled differently and have different meanings. Today is Halloween and each year I love to see what my grandchildren will be dressed as. I will not know what my granddaughter will wear until I am surprised with the pictures. Yesterday I found out what my grandson will wear. This year he will be a Minion. A minion is a yellow creature with one or two eyes. The character became popular in the movie "Despicable Me". My son and daughter in law will also be wearing Minion tee shirts. My husband asked me what my grandson will be dressed as and I said a Minion. He looked at me with an odd look. A minyan? Why would he be dressed as a person in a prayer group? I started to laugh. He will be a Minion, not a person in a minyan. When minion is spelled like "minyan", it means that a person is part of a ten person group of Jewish adults that is required for certain religious prayers. I am sure that no one else confused the two. I am still laughing about it.
