It’s no secret, the kiddo loves balls. Footballs. Soccer balls. Baseballs. Basketballs. Golf balls. You name a ball, he probably likes it.
Because of this love affair, we have uttered some of the funniest phrases around our house. And most of them just don’t sound right, especially since we are saying them to a toddler. Here are some of the best.
Top Ten Phrases Using Balls that You Will Hear at Our House (on a regular basis)
- Eli, do you know where your balls are?
- Eli is really a ball man.
- Eli loves all balls.
- Eli, are you sharing your balls with the other kids?
- Grandpa’s balls downstairs (this was uttered by Eli himself)
- Eli, how did your balls get so dirty?
- Eli, please don’t throw your balls at the pugs.
- Eli could kick around balls all day long.
- I wanna play with BIG BALL (also uttered by Eli)
and best of all: - Eli, those aren’t your balls. Stop playing with them please.
This blog was inspired by Oh Amanda’s Top 10 Tuesday’s Blog Carnival. Head on over for other Top 10 Lists.

@Land of Lovings, I know, by husband gets a kick out of these sayings. But then again, he’s still a big kid too.

Oh, man. I think everyone of these has been said in our house except the Grandpa one (Ben’s grandfathers are not the sort to play with balls).

I love the balls phase! It just makes for so many great unintentional puns. Ranks right up there with the fire truck phase when they still say “f” for “tr”
