Egg Balls

Do you know how long it takes my mom to wash her hands in the bathroom right next to the kitchen?  The same amount of time it takes me to throw 10 eggs across the kitchen & watch them splat on the island...approximately.  I happily handed my mom the 11th egg when she came back and proudly said, "Egg-Balls!" Why would they be shaped like a ball if I wasn't meant to throw them?
