You also find out interesting things when you have sons, like…
1.) A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq.. ft. house 4 inches deep.
2.) If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.
3.) A 3-year old Boy’s voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.
4.) If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound Boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20×20 ft. room.
5.) You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.
6.) The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn’t stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.
7.) When you hear the toilet flush and the words ‘uh oh’, it’s already too late.
8.) Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.
9.) A six-year old Boy can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36-year old Man says they can only do it in the movies.
10.) Certain Lego’s will pass through the digestive tract of a 4-year old Boy.
11.) Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence.
12.) Super glue is forever.
13.) No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool,you still can’t walk on water.
14.) Pool filters do not like Jell-O.
15.) VCR’s do not eject ‘PB & J’ sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.
16..) Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.
17.) Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.
18.) You probably DO NOT want to know what that odor is.
19.) Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do not like ovens.
20.) The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.
21.) It will, however, make cats dizzy.
22.) Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.
23.) 80% of Women will pass this on to almost all of their friends, with or without kids.
24.) 80% of Men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid.
I did, in fact, pass this along to my sister-in-law. They have two boys.
Are these things you have personally experienced, or is this one of those lists that make the rounds?

by susan September 24th, 2008 at 11:10 amLet’s see. My boys built a campfire in their room after very carefully covering the carpet with newspapers so it wouldn’t get dirty.
And they tied a string to the overhead light so that they could have a trapeze. The overhead light does not support seven and eight year olds.
And they rode their bigwheels off the picnic table because they were Evel Kneival. Score? Two broken noses.
And they jumped off the six foot wall in front of the house because they were Steve Austin, Six Million Dollar Man. Score? Two broken feet.
I earned every gray hair on my head.
