Monthly Stress Reducer - What Kids Taught Me

You find out interesting things when you have kids, like...
  • A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. house 4 inches deep.
  • If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.
  • A 3-year old boy'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 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.
  • 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.
  • The glass in windows doesn'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 kid can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36-year old man says they can only do it in the movies.
  • Certain Lego's will pass through the digestive tract of a 4- year old boy.
  • Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence.
  • The fire department in Austin, Texas has a 5-minute response time.
  • VCR's do not eject "PB&J" sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.
  • Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.
  • Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving
  • No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water. Adopted from http://www.surfersam.com
