One of my co-workers is pregnant with her first...a little boy. Yesterday she got this in an email and shared it with me. I thought it was totally hysterical!!!! :rotfl2:


RAISING MALE CHILDREN
a) For those with no children - this is totally hysterical!
b) For those who already have children past this age, this is hilarious.
c) For those who have children this age, this is not funny.
d) For those who have children nearing this age, this is a warning.
e) For those who have not yet had children, this is birth control.


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

THINGS I'VE LEARNED FROM MY BOYS (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 rollerblades, 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 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.) VCRs do not eject "PB & J" sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.

16.) Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.(ps neither do umbrellas)

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.
 
I love it! My DS is 2.5 and he tries to fly like Buzz Lightyear by jumping off the edge of his bed like he is doing a belly smacker in the pool.
 
Thanks for a GREAT LAUGH! I passed that on to everyone in my office, and they thank you too!

This is too funny! I think my 15 DS has done or tried most of these things.
 

HAW HAW HAW!!!

I have a 13 year old son and he hasn't done any of these things. I'm left wondering if he's as good a boy as I think he is or if he's just a 'late bloomer'. :scared:

My son is 14 and he hasn't done anything on that list. :cool1:

Maybe we're just lucky. :worship:
 
that is funny. And they say raising boys is easier than girls....I'm beginning to doubt it! Unless of course...you get the boys worst in early childhood and girls during :eek: teenage years :eek:
Good thang honey aint home. I can so see him out in the yard with a bucket and brake fluid and clorox ....saying "cool" :idea: my DH is such a kid at heart
 
:lmao: :lmao:

Having 4 boys, I am really lucky that they haven't done any of these things.........yet. :scared:
 
I have a DS5 and thankfully thus far can only identify with one of these.

3.) A 3-year old Boy's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.

My DS emits more noises from his mouth than I would ever think possible. :scared:
 
I don't think any of my boys have done these things.

However, they have done many other things that just aren't on this list :rotfl: .

(but I still think it's easier to raise boys than girls, as long as you can laugh...)

okay this is hilarious!!! since my little boy is 2 months old, i'm a bit frightened!!

you should be frightened! My DS4 is nuts!!! but I sure do love him. This morninig he was walking around the house with his hockey helmut on and his Tony Soprano (nylon) jogging suit. My and DH cracked up laughing and we BOTH said he reminded that Mike Meyers charchter on SNL, you know the kid who is teathered to the pole!
 
My oldest DS is almost 11 and he'd done several things with his ceiling fan, not the paint, but we do know it couldn't hold him at 6 years old! :eek:
 
I would like to add to that list:
1. Army men can jump off of moving blades on the ceiling fan, but play-
dough will stick.

2. Tampons dropped into water in the bathroom sink is NOT a replacement
for G.I. Joe's parachute.

3. Cats will jump out of a refrigerator when the door is opened.

4. Rocks can NOT be flushed.

5. VCRS will really allow a sandwich to be crammed inside, but does not ever
come back out.

This from a Mom with lots of personal experience! :thumbsup2
 
If you jump down a full flight of steps and have your Superman cape on, you will NOT get hurt.

We tried this on my little brother, and he lived. :rotfl:
