A social worker I know actually lost one of his clients because of a rubber ball (are they called flip flop balls in English?), the 8 year old choked to death
I would call these things "bouncy balls".
That's a terrible story. But lol I like the term flip flop ball. Around me, we actually call them bouncy balls
fuckin love a bouncy ball tho
The worst part is that he was around his parents, they just didn't know what number to dial to call the emergency.
Now that you've said it bouncy ball does sound familiar 😅
And some weirdos argue that parents are less reliable than strangers.
