If you ever find yourself teaching juggling to middle schoolers, do not, I repeat, do not use the word "ball," or "balls." As in my own recent foot-in-mouth repartee with an innocent: "Actually, Will, my balls are bigger and heavier than yours."
Have not heard the end of that from D.J. yet.

You said that to Phillip
ReplyDeleteOh, shit. Will sounds better anyway, for the sake of a little healthy embellishment. Anyway, I thought his name was Phil, and he doesn't seem like he could take a joke as well as Will. (Btw, Will and Phil are best friends, in the 7th grade, have long straight hair to their shoulders but one is tall and one is small, and are both in my juggling class, which I think doesn't have a very long shelf life anymore.
