FUN STUFF!

Things you can learn from kids

Particularly if they are BOYS!

A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill the bottom story of a

3000 sq. ft. house 2 inches deep.

A 2-year old'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 and a Superman cape. 

However, if tied to a paint can, the fan is strong enough to spread paint on all

four walls of a 20'x20' 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-pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.

 

When you hear the toilet flush and the words "uh oh," it's already too

late. (No matter how old the child!)

 

Two small boys CAN can start a fire with a flint rock (even though a

38-year old Mom says they can only do it in the movies).

 

Certain Lego's WILL pass through the digestive tract of a 4-year old.

 

The words "Playdough" and "microwave" should not be used in the same

sentence.

 

Super glue is forever.

 

VCR's do not eject PB&J sandwiches even though TV commercials

indicate 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 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.
