Welcome to Gaia! ::

I take the fifth grade out for recess, and I enjoy the opportunity to get to know my students outside of class. Sometimes, I get to know some TMI.

Today, I was watching some kids with the hula hoops, and some other girls were doing gymnastics. One girl showed me a cartwheel that ended with a split, and I laughed and remarked that I couldn't do the splits. A passing boy responded, "I can't do the splits either."

I didn't quite hear what he had said, so, "Sorry, did you say you can or can't do them?"

Gymnastics girl turns to me and says, "He said he can't. He has balls."

I gaped. I wanted to ask what kind of balls she meant, but I didn't want to get into it. I quickly walked away and started laughing my a** off. Freaking classic.

A note on balls, while we're here. I learned, from a subtitled episode of One Piece, that one Japanese term for testicles is kintama. Not at all interesting.... Until you check and learn that "tama" is a term for a ball or orb, and "kin" means gold. So, as Luffy put it, testicles are "BALLS OF PURE GOLD!"

I know. xd I have such a love-hate relationship with those naughty bastards. I almost want to make a running thread detailing the crazy s**t they do.
