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 lades, 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.

Number 25 is pretty great, because as soon as I read the line about clorox and brake fluid I had another firefox tab open googling information on it. Apparently the smoke has a toxic gas in it, so I'll pass.

Kyo,

This is a very true statement. Happened with my 5 year old and an old watch (sans band). Still haven't figured out how to get that out of the toilet.

If it is past the trap it is gone.

Kyo,

Just great .

Despite what your son claims, the cop who wrote the ticket for 78 MPH was probably right.

That may be more of a relief than an aggravation. At least that way I don't have to go digging for it. :D

Check. I've got quite a few jumps under a Hefty 30 gal. canopy. Altitude is a key factor in long-term survival. I recommend keeping it to under 8-10 feet. JMPI is not really critical, but a good PLF helps.

Who says that your behavior at 6 years old is not a good predictor of your future?

A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way. A few years back, when cleaning the ceiling fan, I noticed there were BBs imbedded in the blades...a look upward showed that there were BBs in the ceiling...that had been painted over...

Two sons...hahahahahaha...

LOL Awesome and as did JCASP my first thought was to try number 25 but I will take his advice and pass...

Also, sons have a bad habit of telling the truth and nothing but the truth at the worst time(s)

While being pulled over by the Police Officer

Talking to the Ex Wife

Your new girlfriend

and the school principle...
