Title: Why are balls called balls Dad? Post by: celtic on January 17, 2008, 02:06:13 AM Standing in the bathroom (fully clothed) I am having a conversation with my 10 year old daughter. We are discussing important things like H20 and sleepover club whilst she is having a shower.
Anyway, she says, Dad, Why are balls called balls? Me: What do you mean? Her: Come on Dad, you know what i mean? Why are balls called balls? Me: Err because they are round, unless they are rugby balls???? No Dad, stop being stupid, you know what i mean! Me: Do I? Yes dad, you do, the balls in your pants, why are the called balls? Er, i'm not sure darling, how do you know they are called balls? Well dad we are learning about puperty at school. Puperty? Yes Puperty. Me: U make puppets? No dad, puperty, where your body changes from a child to an adut. Ahh Puberty!!!!. Got it. What and the teacher told you they were balls? No the nurse said they were Testacles but xxxxxx in my class said they were balls. Me: (under my breath) ffs!!!! Must be because they are round then. Her. Are your's round then? Er i think so darling, havent checked them recently. Her: Well you should check them regulary for lumps, in case you get cancer. Me: Right ok. U ready to get out the shower? Her: Nearly. Do you know i'm going to have a period? Me: What now? No dad, between now and 17. Me: Really? Her: yes, all girls get them. Didnt you learn this at school?. Me: Cant remember it was a long time ago. Well mummy (my ex-wife) and Kirsty (partner) gets them, you should know from them. Me: Sounds vaguely familiar i think, u ready to get out the shower now? Her: Yeah, pass my towel please, she then goes on to explain about tampax and how to use them etc. Breasts and how her body is going to change. It seems like only yesterday she was my baby, now she is giving me an effing biology lesson!! :o Title: Re: Why are balls called balls Dad?

Title: Re: Why are balls called balls Dad? Post by: Snatiramas on January 17, 2008, 11:37:18 AM Reminded me of this classic moment.........
Four years ago having just dropped Adam off at Karate my daughter Rachel, aged 5 at this time, pipes up from the back of the car whilst stopped at the traffic lights "Dad, what does yids mean?" Oh my word she is only 5 and do I really want to go into the various names and name calling that happen in our blessed society. I reply "What does what mean, sorry?" "Daddy! you heard me! Yids,yids what does it mean!!!!!!" she has the patience of her mother bless. "Where did you hear it Rachel?" thinking we had better try and get this into context Rachel shouting now "Look the sign next to us says "School 500 yds!!!!!"

Title: Re: Why are balls called balls Dad? Post by: TightEnd on January 18, 2008, 12:31:49 PM Ryan 10...at a football academy assessment interview thing with me
He's filled in his questionnaire provided by the coaches The exchange goes like this Coach "So, Ryan, these are excellent answers. Thank you for being honest and realistic. FRrom some of the other boys answers I would think I am coaching World Cup Winners ho ho ho" Ryan..nervous chuckle Coach, turning page.."This section headed Discipline..you've put "Very Poor". That's strange. Why?" Ryan..looks at shoes..silence Coach "Well I've never seen you argue with refs, never got booked or sent off" Ryan...silence, blushing Coach, after a pause....."Oh well, if you think of why you answered that let me know" Me "Ryan its ok, tell us why you think your discipline is poor?" Ryan "Well I thought he meant Discipline at home. Mum says I am very naughty at home and I have poor discipline with my chores. She was watching when I filled my form out and I dared not put "Good" down as I'd only just got downstairs from being sent to my room" Coach....muffled giggling Me...looking away.

Shopping for trainers. Now normally when shopping the Snats split into two groups.....the girls and the boys. On this occassion the girls have gone clothes shopping and cheeky boy and I are looking for trainers for me. Adam having seen some Arsenal kit has gone wondering off. I continue to walk along the training shoe wall. After a few moments I look up to see a blonde blur go hurtling towards a person who is dressed similarly in jeans and a big leather jacket and bent over trying on a trainer. Before I can shout out a warning his hand has connected with said persons bottom with a velocity that truly must have stung. Sure enough the poor victim shot upwards at a rate of knots to reveal a rather angry woman........ Dad to the rescue rushes over apologising profusely (inwardly killing myself laughing) and extricates very embarrased son. Snat "what were you thinking?" Ads "I thought it would be funny" Snat "but it was a woman who looks nothing like me" Ads "But her bottom was so big I thought it had to be you!!!!" Title: Re: Why are balls called balls Dad?
