Remember when they were little?
I found this in some old papers. I laughed when I received it some 12 years ago. It's great to look back and smile now!
Interesting things when you have sons, like...
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 spreadpaint 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 hitby a ceiling fan.
7.) When you hear the toilet flush and the words "uh oh", it's alreadytoo 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 earthwormsdizzy.
22.) It will, however, make cats dizzy.
23.) Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.

I remember those days fondly. How did the time go by so quickly? I would like to add that a 9 year old can land on his feet when jumping out of his bedroom window while wearing a batman cape.

LOL . . .
and when you (age 11) and your brother (age 8) dig a hole in the backyard, fill it with water and have a mud-ball fight, your mom will just get in the car and go to her friend's for a couple of hours to keep from killing you . . .

1. you should never put a tricycle in a wagon and have your brother pull you with his bike. Turning a corner can be really dangerous.
2. Don't belive your older brother when he tells you to eat the mushrooms from the lawn because they are good, but he will save his until later.
3. You can eat an entire bottle of flinstones vitamins and not even get sick.
4. If you swallow a screw it makes you run faster.
5. If you cut a worm in half, you have 2 worms
6. WD40 and a lighter is all it takes to make a great blow torch. Believe it or not, forest rangers really frown on this!
7. using dish soap in a dishwasher will turn an average size home into a giant bubble bath
8. a magnifying glass in the sun WILL burn skin, it will also do really cool burnt wood designs on your fence. Never mind the fact that it's great pest control for ants.
9. Kids can digs GIANT holes, unless they are asked to.
10. Peanut butter on the dogs nose really is hilarious, not just in commercials.
11. Finger nail polish should never be used as body paint.
As they get older:
1. You cannot tell if Vodka has been watered down.

LOL Michele . . . I totally forgot about the riding in the wagon down the driveway, the turn to head down the sidewalk (instead of the street - thank goodness!) but flipped right out and into the cactus . . . only took me about 2 hours to 'tweeze' out most of the spines out of them - LOL:)!

Too close to home. How about when you take your brother's goldfish out of his bowl, play with him in the sink, then take him to a friend's house to play, he won't swim when put back in his bowl.
Taking a pair of scissors to a playmates hair does not make for happy neighbors.
Knocking a fire torch over in the woods will make a nice bonfire of the woods.
I hope the nine-year-old batman was not on the second floor when he jumped out the window!

Playing Mister Gas Station Attendant; using the garden hose, will ruin the engine in your car.

Kid fiskers will cut the pointy part of a cats ear off when used by a 3 year old giving the kitty a hair cut.

I'm amazed to see that other men put their parents through the same things my son did to me! That is why I have hexed my son and told him when he gets married and decides to have a family, I wish him triplets that acted just like him. Of course, if for some reason this happens, I will have to make it up to him. Why is it that the boys are so into finding out how things work and a girl likes to read and do calm things? I really enjoyed remembering my son and all my grey hairs that he has put on my head.

Darci, my family calls it "The Curse" when you tell your child that you hope he grows up to have a child just like him. The Curse! My son is living proof that his grandfather cursed my husband when he was young. And yes, my son is cursed, too. It might not work on him, though. His sister was born when he was 15 and has the room across from his, so he's become a poster child for abstinence! LOL He may never want children!
BTW, between my 2 kids, the daughter (who's 4 now) is the one who takes things apart and mutilates them to find out what makes them tick. It'll be a long time before we get her a dog.
