I saw this article in a magazine I was reading and just had to share it with all of you moms out there who have or have had little boys in their homes. Hope you enjoy as much as I did! The following came from an anonymous Mother in Austin, Texas... Things I've learned from my Boys: 1. A king waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 square foot 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 20 by 20 foor room. 5. You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using a ceiling dan 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) does not stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan. 7. When you hear the toilet flush and the words "UH OH", its 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. VCRs do not eject "PB&J" sandwiches, even though TV commercials show they do. 16. Garbage bags do not make good parachutes. 17. Marbles in the gas tank makes lots of noises 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 Texas has a 5 minutes response time! 21. The spin cycle on the washing maching 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!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
OMG it's all only too true. Thank goodness my boys have grown up and left home now!!!!!!!!!!! Mind you - girls are no better - they just know how to get out of things - they blame their brothers!!!!!
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 20 by 20 foor room. This bit had me wetting myself
Mind you - girls are no better Make you right there Eileen, i bought a pack of 8 small pizzas on friday, when i got home from work, they were all gone!! When i asked my eldest daughter if she had eaten them, she said " nah wasnt me" but she was the only one in the house?? I guess Elvis has worked out how to use the oven then ??
I don't know how many times I have tried that Also I got as far a putting the cat into the washing machine but never switched it on. Oh wait...
I have one brother and for the life of me when we were growing up blaming him was the only thing I could think of that he was good for
The last one is the one I loved, especially as I had my son with me when I was reading them over and sure enough, that was the one that he went "Really? Cool!" at Thankfully, he is not the kind who will put it into practice, but you can be sure he's thinking about it. :-D
Just to funny . It left off never let a dog and little boy out of your sight for one second .The dog just might tree a skunk and the little boy is down wind from them .( You just can't throw the boy away .LOL ) Tomato juice and tooth paste does work.
Hey I now realize I'm not the only mom who goes through all of that!!LOL! Those had me rolling on the floor almost because they are oh sooooo true!! I don't have girls but knowing my niece she's tried it all too!!LOL!I'm glad the boys and John won't be reading this because I'm sure they would try the clorox and brake fluid!!I guess that is something they never thought of, and John is as bad as the boys!!hehehe!!
I could add one or two to that list. If you have an electric hot dog cooker with the two prongs that you stick the hot dog onto, you can use a large dill pickle and it will glow in the dark. Don't touch it though. Dooley
