Round objects

Drew's physics class is mostly boys. 14-year-old boys no less, so you can imagine the rowdiness and crude comments. It only took 5 weeks before Mr. Physics Teacher banned them from using the word "balls." In describing round objects that would previously be known as balls, the kids must now refer to such objects as "spheres." A super smart move for Mr. Physics Teacher.

This new terminology has crept in to our personal lexicon. The other night we had spaghetti and meat spheres for dinner. Not just any meat sphere, mind you. Nope. They were TURKEY meat spheres!
