Raising kids

[chaotica]

a) For those who have grown children - this is totally hysterical!

For those who have children past this age, this is hilarious.

c) For those who have children this age, this is not funny.

d) For those who have children nearing this age, this is a warning.

e) 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 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-y ear 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.

Actually, I was leaning towards the Play-Dough in the microwave, but six-of-one, half-a-dozen of the other.

 

Nice list. Iris is getting old enough to get into quite a bit of mischief.

I'll remember to always check the oven before pre-heating it.

Should I be relieved I don't have kids?

Goodness!! That makes me even more thankful for the son I've got.
