I had a friend in middle school, 8th grade, dealing with this same speech. Her topic was "What it would be like to be bald."
The class heard, "What it would be like to be balled."
Chaos, total chaos, and the teacher was clueless, and my friend was as well until the word left her mouth, and she heard what the class heard.
For those too young, or too old, in the 70's, here in Ohio anyway, "balled" meant "f****ed"
