THINGS I'VE LEARNED FROM MY KIDS
(Honest and No Kidding)
By Hammer.net
· There is no such thing as child-proofing your home
· If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run them over with rollerblades, they ignite
· A four 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 puppy pound underwear and a superman cape
· It is strong enough, however, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20’x 20’ room
· Baseballs make marks on ceilings
· You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on
· When using the 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-paned ones) can’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
· Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke- and lots of it
· A six-year old can start a fire with a flint rock even though a thirty-six year old man says they can only do it in the movies
· A magnifying glass can start a fire even on an overcast day
· If you use a waterbed as home plate while wearing baseball shoes it does not leak........it explodes
· A king-size waterbed contains enough water to fill a 2000 sq foot house four inches deep
· Legos will pass through the digestive tract of a four year-old
· Duplos will not
· Play Dough and Microwave should never be used in the same sentence
· Superglue is forever
· McGyver can teach us many things we don’t want to know
· Tarzan can, too
· No matter how much Jell-O you put in the swimming pool, you still can’t walk on water
· Pool filters do not like Jell-O
· VCR’s do not eject peanut butter & jelly sandwiches
· Garbage bags do not make good parachutes
· Quiet does not necessarily mean don’t worry
· You probably do not want to know what that odor is
· Always look in the oven before turning it on
· Plastic toys do not like ovens
· The fire department in San Diego has at least a five-minute response time
· The washing machine’s spin cycle does not make earthworms dizzy
· It will, however, make cats dizzy
· Cats throw up half their body weight when dizzy
· Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving
· A good sense of humor will get you through most problems in life (unfortunately, mostly in retrospect)
