A lesson in rhyming words

Jack (standing in front of the door): "Mommy, what's the password?"

Me: "Uh, I don't know. Can you give me a hint?"

Jack: "It rhymes with honey."

Me: "Funny."

Jack: "No."

Me: "Sunny."

Jack: "No."

Me: "Punny?"

Jack: "Uh-Uh."

Me: "Bunny?"

Jack: "No."

Me: "Money???"

Jack: "Nope."

Me: "Runny!"

Jack: "NO!"

Me: "Dunny?"

Jack: (shakes his head)

Me: "Can you give me another hint?"

Jack: "It's an animal."

Me: "It's an animal that rhymes with honey, and it's not 'bunny?'"

Jack: "No."

(30 seconds silence as we have a staring contest)

Me: "Oh! BEE!"

Jack: "YES!!!"

I think I need to get the boy a rhyming dictionary.
