Thirteen things about raising boys…

You can really find out some 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 spread paint on all four walls of a 20×20 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. Certain Lego’s will pass through the digestive tract of a 4- year old Boy.

9. Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence.

10. Super glue is forever.

11.  You probably do NOT want to know what that odor is.

12. The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.

13. It does, however, make cats dizzy.

    To funny! Hopefully you haven’t experienced any of these. Things are a little crazier with boys than it is with girls. A lot more jumping off of things with no worries.

    My grandsons did not ever or would not ever do any of these things…I am sure of it. Aren’t they cute? Do they look like the type that would do any of these things? I didn’t think so.
