Allusions of a One-Year-Old

When the name of Jesus is spoken in our home, my 13-month-old son smiles, points to the crucifix mounted on the wall, and excitedly says, "ball!" If I were a nerd, I would think he was alluding to Dante's Divine Comedy:

That light supreme, within its fathomless
Clear substance, showed to me three spheres, which bare
Three hues distinct, and occupied one space.
