Balls?

So I'm doing a physical exam on this girl who comes in with her mother. I'm feeling her neck for lymph nodes and she's saying yes it hurts pressing on them and her mom says "She has balls in there, can you feel the balls in there??" Obviously she means lymph nodes, which feel like little rounded things under the skin, so I say yes. And she says "I have balls in my neck. I always get balls in my neck and I can feel them, little balls in there." Hahaha, and her kid and I are totally cracking up but trying to cover it up, it was hilarious. Probably the funniest thing I've heard a patient say yet, and she was so adamant about it too!
