Boys, Boys, Boys!

This was in a previous email from my niece, "Why Boys Need Parents." I thought this was so cute & I just know there are Moms and Dads out there who will be shaking their head and thinking: "I thought our kid was the only one who..."

Anyway, this is called "Things You Find Out When You Have Sons."

• A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq ft house 4 inches deep
• If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies & run over them with roller blades, they can ignite
• A 3 year old boy's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant
• 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 & 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
• 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
• The glass in windows (even double-paned) does not stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan
• When you hear the toilet flush and the words 'uh oh,' it's already too late
• Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it
• A 6 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
• Certain Lego's will pass through the digestive tract of a 4 year old boy
• 'Play-Doh' and 'microwave' should not be used in the same sentence
• Super glue is forever
• No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool, you still can't walk on water
• Pool filters do not like Jell-O
• VCR's do not eject PB&J sandwiches, even though TV commercials show they do
• Garbage bags do not make good parachutes
• Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving
• You probably DO NOT want to know what that odor is
• Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do not like ovens
• The fire department in Austin, Texas has a 5-minute response time
• The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy...
• ...It will, however, make cats dizzy
• Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy

And, grownups:

80% of women will pass this along to almost all of their friends, with or without kids

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