Things I've Learned From My Son....



Things I've learned from my son (honest and not kidding) who will be 25 in about 2 months......

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 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 afew 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 toysdo not like ovens.


20.) The fire department in Riverside, CA 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 Men who read this will try mixing the Clorox andbrake fluid.Those who pass this on to almost all of their friends, with or without boys do it because:
a) For those with no children - this is totally hysterical!
b) For those who already 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.

This is funny! I've seen it before on lots of different websites, (just do a google search on "things i learned from my boys") and rec'd it as emails many times. Each time I read it, it gives me a chuckle!! And as a parent of boys (and a daughter), although not quite yet 25 - as you say yours will be, I can attest to a few of them. You might want to give credit to "Anonymous Mother in Austin, Texas" as the other bloggers have done! Thanks for sharing!

As a mother of a 34 year old, I also give testimony to the universal nature of this much repeated internet e-mail.

As I read this, and before I posted this, I actually had to check off the things I had experienced with my son. Even tho he's almost 25, I STILL experience so many zany happenings with him.

Everytime he calls, I wonder, "What now", and start to smile as he begins our conversation with, "Umm, mom, you aren't gonna believe this, but...". I love that boy of mine.
