Why boys need parents... I received this in an e-mail from friend, author unknown. I have three boys and can easily relate.
Interesting things you learn 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 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 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.

Very cute! My only son is the youngest of three, so we are learning a lot of very new things the girls would have never tried. Now, we are moving to toliet training, not looking forward to that!
Hello Dana "Nurse" I just thought I would stop by and read some of your posts. I have 4 children, and two of them are boys. (they are grown now) but I could relate to your post! And my girls, which are twins, really were much easier, believe it or not!
We currently have 3 boys with twin boys due in the next 1.5 weeks. The things they do (and say) are almost too funny for words, if it weren't for the hazard factor. Our 3 y.o. daughter is absolutely nothing like any of the boys. I can totally relate to the things in this list (especially the toilet flush/uh-oh sounds).
Too cute! My little boy is only 3, but there are numerous points on here that we have already learned. Thanks for the heads up on the playdoh & microwave, didn't know that:)
Dang, I was part of the 80% until you pointed it out that I was about to go try that (LOL) Also according to my brother-in-law and his brother. Putting gas in the toilet and lighting and then flushing it does not make the fire go away. It actually gets bigger as the oxygen now is coming up from the tank and it actually explodes and does great damage to a bathroom!
Thanks for the laughs! I have a son and can relate. My mother in law (who qualifies for sainthood) raised six boys and could write an entire book on this subject. Quite possibly with sequels.
