Since I know that all of our children are past this age, thought I'd
share these with you. But, don't forget, our wonderful grandchildren
ARE mostly this age!
For those who already have children past this age, this is hilarious.
For those who have children this age, this is not funny.
For those who have children nearing this age, this is a warning. For
those who have not yet had children, this is birth control.
From an anonymous mother in Austin, Texas:
THINGS I'VE LEARNED FROM MY CHILDREN...
- A king-size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. foot 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'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 20 by 20 foot room.
- 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 pane) won'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 . . .lots of it.
- A 6-year-old can start a fire with a flint rock even though a
36-year-old man says they can only do it in the movies. A
magnifying
glass can start a fire even on an overcast day.
- Certain LEGOS will pass through the digestive tract of a
4-year-old.
- Play Dough and Microwave should never be used in the same
sentence.
- Super glue is forever.
- No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool, you still
can't, walk on water.
- Pool filters do not like Jell-O.
- VCR's do not eject PB&J sandwiches even though TV commercials show
that they do.
- Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.
- Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.
- You probably do not want to know what that odor is.
- Always look in the oven before you turn it on. Plastic toys do not
like ovens.
- The fire department in Austin, TX has a 5 minute response time.
- The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms
dizzy.
- The spin cycle on the washing machine will, however, make cats
dizzy.
- Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.
And finally, the mind of a 6-year-old is wonderful.
One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of the Three
Little Pigs to her class.
She came to the part of the story where the first pig was trying to
accumulate the building materials for his home. She read,"...And so
the pig went up to the man with the wheelbarrow full of straw and
said,
"Pardon me sir, but may I have some of that straw to build my house?'"
The teacher paused then asked the class, "And what do you think that
man said?"
One little boy raised his hand and said, "I think he said 'Holy Cow!
A talking pig!"
The teacher lost it for the next 10 minutes.
