I just got this in my email, other than what isd in the text, I do not know where it originated.
Enjoy~
Things I've learned from my children
(honest & no kidding):
The following came from an anonymous Mother in Austin, Texas
1. A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft.
house 4 inches deep.
2. If you spray hairspray on dust bunnies and run over them with
roller blades, they can ignite.
3. A 3-year olds 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 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 LEGOs will pass through the digestive tract of a
4-year old.
11. Playdough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence.
12. Superglue 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. The mind of a 6-year old is wonderful.

As someone who has raised many boys I can attest to the fact that most things on that list are true. I could also add that washing machines are a pain to clean out when they have been used as a substitute for a tad pole farm, that basketball hoops and trampolines don't mix, while fan blades won't support a 6 year old boy, they will support a very angry 3 pound cat suspended in a life vest. A jello filled toilet is no fun to clean out, and a bottle cap shot at a ceiling fan blade that is turning, will ricochet off of three walls and end up god knows where, though the vacume cleaner manages to find them. I can also tell you that if you put a two year old in a play pen in the yard and some one puts a sign on the playpen that says FREE TO A GOOD HOME..the cops will show up. Republican neighbors will get very angry when they wake up to a yard full of political signs endorsing the running democrat. The one rule I never forget is that the larger the group of boys..the smaller their collective common sense. But it is true..some day........we will laugh.
