Overheard while teaching

Sometimes the siblings of my students will hang out with the Chipmunk while I'm teaching. I love that he spends time with such a varied and fun group of people. I overheard this conversation today:

Friend: S, this is a dodecahedron.

S: You mean it's a ball.

Friend: It looks like a ball, but it's called a dodecahedron.

S: Are you just pretending? It looks like a ball to me.

Friend: I'm not pretending. That's what it's called.

S: Yes you are. It's round like a ball.

Friend: Kind of, but look, it's made up of pentagons. It has sides.

S:  OK, it has sides, but it's still a ball!

Maybe we'll work on 3D shapes tomorrow :)
