what boys can get into

.Unfortunately I can't copy the pictures that went with this article.

you find out interesting things when you have sons, like


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.

I won't try the brake fluid but this 31 year old boy has a kitchen to paint and a celing fan that needs running.

If you used a couple different colors your kitchen could look happily festive. Or... like an explosion in a paint factory!

Between the original post and your reply, lilly, I am so very glad i was not drinking my coffee just now......would have a heck of a time cleaning it off the computer screen after laughing it out my nose!! This has just made my day!!! As the mother of 4 boys (ages 19, 10, 7.....and 40!!), I can vouch for many of these things!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

We are lucky, these aren't our kids. Someone sent me this, so don't remember who did. Things could always be worse

I caught my daughter doing something like that once so it isn't jus the boys.. I just stared at her and started laughing..It was to funny looking for me to get upset about... Should have teaken a picture... Called my wife in and her response was the same as mine.. If I remember it involved my daughter making spaghetti.. How she got the jar open is a whol other mystery..

You know them itty bitty bottles of Tester's brand model paint? You'd be amazed at how far an orange jar of that will go in the hands of a toddler. I don't even know how he got hold of it, but one mornin I went to get my son outta his crib....he was at the age he could crawl in and out by himself. Sometime durin the night he'd gotten out, and I have no idea where he got the bottle of orange paint, but he went back into his room, painted the mirror on his dresser, all over his crib and sheets.....himself......the wall behind his bed........

and a grown person NEVER can get the lid offa them lil jars!!!!!!!

When my husband was little he did in interesting piece of work with a hand drill on his bed headboard during "naptime".
Guess his dad learned a lesson about putting away the ol' tool box. :D
