Interesting Things When You Have a Son
And you also find out interesting things when you have a son, 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.

How funny!
I had two girls, but now I am blessed with a grandson...he is still 6 so he hasn't tried too much of the list (YET!).
Thanks for the warning, we will be babysitting him next week!!
The Retirement Chronicles
How funny and how true these things are. I have a son that is 41 now and a grandson that will be 2 in June. My son probably tried most of these things and I am sure my grandson will follow in his footsteps. One time when we lived out in the country, my son filled a garbage bag with water and put it in our big rural mailbox. When the mailman opened the box, it all dumped out! Some went on him, some in his car but thank goodness most of it just poured out on the ground! I will never forget that episode.
Funny list! I'm so lucky my 11 year-old son is mellow, maybe because he doesn't have a brother to help get into too much trouble.
Joan: you have so much to look forward to.......
Judy: That darling little guy grandson of yours will probably be just like your son. Loved the mailbox story. My son liked to do the water over the door things.
Marissa: you have got to watch out for the "best friend" Curtis has one that is still his best friend. They were inseparable as kids and did all kinds of things, most to his sister. They were good kids but always into something.
Oh dear lord Tucker ... I'm not sure how you did it but you had me weeping tears of joyous laughter when reading this. Like a small child.
Classic.
This is why I never had kids. I mean, it was funny when I did these things, but not so much if my kid did them..
Very funny list ... #25 = you've got to be careful about giving any ideas.
