Got this in an email and made me feel a little nostalgic :laughing:



I know its been around a few times but thought Id share it anyway




And 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 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 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 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 Women will pass this on to almost all of their friends, with or without kids.



25. 80% of Men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid.









 
:rotfl2:

The closer I got to the end, the more I wondered if I have Clorox and brake fluid around somewhere....and I'm not a guy!
 

That is cute and so true.

And I'm sure DH would be happy to take them out and mix bleach and brake fluid - to this day.
 
I can totally relate to the ceiling fan............

The words "Uh Oh" strike immediate fear into the hearts of Mothers everywhere.
 
Of course I'll have to try the Clorox and brake fluid thing now.
 
I'll add mine:

The louder they say "I'm ok." The higher the likelyhood that something else is NOT ok......
 
I'll add mine:

especially if they say it BEFORE you ask......that goes for little girls too! :rotfl:
 
"What was that?"


......................."nothing"..................


usually means the opposite of nothing!
 
One time I heard my son who was about 6 say to DH - "we made a little mess but it's okay, we will clean it up" ............took my brain a minute or so and then:eek:

He and a friend had burst open a bean bag chair and had jumped and jumped......those dang beans were everywhere for months and months
 
And may I add....a peg from the game Battleship placed in the nostril of a 3 year old requires the services of an ENT for removal. Sigh.....:rolleyes1
 
I'll never forget my DS asking, "Is it okay to pee in a bucket?"

He's 25 now and I still don't know what's going on in that mind of his. Scary
thing is, he's teaching school now! Hide your children!:thumbsup2
