subject: interesting things you find out when you have sons

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 & 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 isn't strong enough to rotate a 42 pound boy wearing batman underwear & a superman cape. it's strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20 x 20 ft. room.

5. you shouldn't throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. when using a ceiling fan as a bat, you've 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, & 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 will pass through the digestive tract of a 4- year old boy.

11. play dough & microwave shouldn't 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 don't like jell-o.

15. VCRs don't eject "PB & J" sandwiches even though tv commercials show they do. (not applicable here though ~ definitely a US commercial)

16. garbage bags don't make good parachutes.

17. marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.

18. you probably DON'T want to know what that odor is.

19. always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys don't like ovens.

20. the fire department in austin, TX has a 5-minute response time.

21. the spin cycle on the washing machine doesn't make earthworms dizzy.

22. it'll however, make cats dizzy.

23. cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.

24. 80% of women will pass this (email) on to almost all of their friends, with or without kids.

25. 80% of men who read this will try mixing the clorox & brake fluid. (boys will be boys & men will still be boys!)

*** i've exprienced 3 & 18. i pray that that'll be all...
