I spotted these over-sized Easter eggs in the front yard of a home along Second Street Northwest in Faribault.
HAVE YOU HEARD about “spring spheres,” the latest politically-correct terminology—at least on the West Coast—for Easter eggs?
Apparently a Seattle teacher would allow a high school volunteer to bring candy-filled plastic eggs into her classroom only if she called them “spring spheres.”
Now, how ridiculous is that?
As soon as the volunteer pulled the eggs out of a bag and after the teacher pronounced them “spring spheres,” the third graders promptly called them “Easter eggs.”
You can’t fool kids into believing an oval is a sphere and Easter isn’t Easter. These Seattle students clearly know their shapes, and their holidays.

What fun decorations!
Spring Speheres. *snort*
Spring spheres????? That is ludicrous! As if Easter has no historical significance whatsoever even for those who consider themselves non-religious. Gotta love kids…always keepin’ it real!
Yes, leave it to kids to point out the errors of adults. I have a feeling that the catch word, “spring spheres,” will not catch on. Thankfully.
