Rain Reign QUOTES

1 " I am Rose Howard and my first name has a homonym. To be accurate, it has a homophone, which is a word that’s pronounced the same as another word, but spelled differently. My homophone name is Rows. "

― Ann M. Martin , Rain Reign

2 " What’s fun about homonyms is hearig a word in a sentence and suddenly realizing that it has a homonym or maybe two (or three, but that’s so rare I don’t often think about homonym quartets) and that you haven’t thought of that homonym pair or trio before. "

― Ann M. Martin , Rain Reign

3 " Rain and I have routines. We like routines. "

― Ann M. Martin , Rain Reign

4 " A watched pot never boils, "

― Ann M. Martin , Rain Reign

5 " Some of the things I get teased about are following the rules and always talking about homonyms "

― Ann M. Martin , Rain Reign

6 " For the first time in my life, I’m being sent home with weekly progress reports that I have to give to my father.

The reports are written by Mrs. Leibler and read and signed by Mrs. Kushel, which is my teachers’ way of saying that they’re in agreement about my behavior.

The reports list all my notable behaviors for Monday through Friday. Some of the comments are nice such as the ones about when I participate appropriately in a classroom discussion.

But most of the comments make my father slam the reports on the table and say, “Rose, for God’s sake. Keep your mouth closed when you think of a homonym” or “Do you see any of the other kids clapping their hands over their ears and screaming when they hear the fire alarm? "
