MY DAUGHTER'S TEACHER HAD SENT HOME A WORKSHEET FOR HOMOPHONES AND THERE WAS ONE THAT WE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT - I WAS SO STUMPED - I ACTUALLY CALLED THE TEACHER TO FIND OUT WHAT THE ANSWER COULD BE AND THEN I WAS MYSTIFIED...BECAUSE I DO NOT THINK IT IS CORRECT - IN THE PICTURE THEY SHOWED A PICTURE OF A FOLD-UP BED AND A BASEBALL GLOVE - APPARENTLY SOMEONE THINKS THAT COT AND CAUGHT ARE PRONOUNCED THE SAME - NOw I WONDER IF THIS IS PURELY A REGIONAL DIALECT ISSUE OR AM I WAY OFF BASE IN THINKING THESE WORDS ARE JUST NOT PRONOUNCED THE SAME - IN MY WAY OF THINKING COT WOULD SOUND SIMILAR TO BOX OR RO"BOT" - AND CAUGHT WOULD SOUND SIMIAR TO TAUGHT WHICH WOULD HAVE A SLIGHT 'AW' SOUND TO IT LIKE FLAW OR CAUSE...WOULD APPRECIATE FEED BACK

They're not homophones. It's as simple as that.
