Sometimes I worry that my sense of humor isn't that much more mature than that of the students I teach. Case and point: Today we were doing an activity that had them see how many tennis balls they could make into a trash can in 15 seconds. Each trial they would move further away from the basket. The goal was to show a negative correlation in a scatter plot. (Geeky, I know) Students who weren't throwing were in charge of chasing down rogue tennis balls. So it played out like this...
Me: " Everyone needs to help pick up the balls"
Me: "Go get that ball, I don't want it to roll away"
Student " Grab my balls before they get away"
Me: "Don't throw those balls, place them gently in the container"
Student: " BALLS!"
For some reason, all of those were funny to me...and getting to say balls about 20 times in 30 minutes was really hard not to laugh at. Who knows what's wrong with me, but balls are funny.

haha! That is great! I'm sure it didn't help the last students yelling Balls! It's been hard for me not to laugh when they reference things, but have no idea what they just did. Thanks for sharing!!
Balls and farts will ALWAYS be funny. Always.
Glad you liked the outfit! I couldn't resist!
I'm not going to lie...I laughed out loud reading this! I guess I'm not mature either :)
