For those who have grown children - this is totally hysterical! For those with children past this age, this is hilarious. For those who have children this age, this is not funny. For those who have children nearing this age, this is a warning. 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 (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 boys 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 foot room.

5. You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using the 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 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 Peanut butter and Jelly 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.

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

Nancy, Now you can all understand why I prefer to be an uncle!:D Brian
 
Almost twenty years ago my gang experimented with pounding individual ketchup packets to see who could launch the contents the highest. I thought of that yesterday as I looked at my dining room ceiling that still shows the dark blotches. I've never repainted the ceiling . . .I guess I keep it as a veiled warning to them of what lies ahead, and as a reminder to me of what a roller coaster ride we survived.

And then there was the time the boys peed in the heat registers and poured syrup in on top, but that's a story for another day!

Thanks Nancy, for the memory jog.
 
I did not have boys like these!! If so, I would have lit my head on fire and run screaming down the street!

Where did I go wrong?

:p Marguerite
 
Oh, yes, I sent this on to my daughter who has a couple of active sons. One's ceiling fan was missing a couple of blades from playing ball in his room. Then the other one flushed a ball into the toilet and came and told his mother about it afterwards. The ball was small enough to flush but didn't make it through the entire system, so it plugged up everything in the house, ruined several carpets. The plumber had to snake the entire house. This same child tried to flush something down our toilet when he was very young. Fortunately, it floated. He didn't want to get his hand dirty trying to take it out of the toilet, so thought the better idea was to flush it.

They are getting older now, so maybe she'll be safe. :D
