Just found this on the US community board, I thought it was so funny and true I just had to pinch it! (sorry OP)



The following came from an anonymous Mother in Austin, Texas...

Things I've learned from my boys (honest and not kidding):

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 Superman cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20x20 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 Legos 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 fire department in Austin, TX has a 5-minute response time.

21.) The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.

22.) It will, however, make cats dizzy.

23.) Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.

24.) 80% of Men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid.

25.) Women will pass this on to almost all of their friends, with or without kids
 
very good :rotfl:

and I can confirm quite a few of these and add quite a few too
 

I found jthat really funny - until I realised - I have boys :crazy: :scared: :crazy: :scared:
 
i have one (or 2) i learnt from boys (brothers and their friends)

1) a duvet does not brake the fall from the top of the stairs to the bottom.
2) a duvet does not make a good sledge from the top of the stairs to the bottom.
3) if you kick the glass in the front door it will brake.
4) if you hold a match to a wooly jumper it will burn.
5)an upturned table does not make a good sledge from the top of the stairs to the bottom.
6) you cannot fly from the top of the stairs to the bottom just because you are wearing superman pyjamas
7) if you go in your sisters room you will face the wrath of the grolsch bottle topped beetle crushers

HaHa, I was thinking of lynette too!

Yes, some of them made me chuckle, the others made me quiver as I thought of what's to come from my 7 year old DS!!

Another one to add - nail varnish will never come off bathroom tiles, sink, glass shelf, bedroom furniture, carpet, pc keys, or wall paper. Especially if it's glittery. And purple. Thanks for that Tom, then aged 3.

And hitting xmas tree baubles (while on the tree) with metal kitchen tongues (sp?) will spread glass to every corner of your living room - without DS getting a single scratch. Again Tom aged 3.

Thank god he's now 7 and into drums, fighting, PS2, football, fighting with lightsabers, being rude, and did I mention fighting?
 
Oh just thought of some from my friends boys:

1. Throwing a rock up in the air and looking up to see it will result in it hitting your head and you needing to visit casualty.

2. Showing off on monkey bars will end with you landing on your arm, and then needing it pinned at hospital.

3. Showing off (same boy as no.2) at school 'surfing' on a chair will result in a broken wrist.

4. Numerous attempts at stunts on normal bikes causes lots of buckled wheels.

5. New mobile phone stops working after small boy takes it to play in paddling pool.
