Why Boys Need Parents

You find out 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 20x20 ft. room.
5.) The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.
6.) Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.
7.) Certain Lego's will pass through the digestive tract of a 4-year old boy.
8.) No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water.
9.) VCR's do not eject 'PB & J' sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.
10.) Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.
11.) Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.
12.) The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.
13.) It will, however, make cats dizzy.
14.) Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.
15.) 80% of men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid.

Thanks for the heads up Mom. I'm okay with him blowing things up as long as it's supervised (we'll call it "science"), but I'm relieved Mona doesn't fit in the washing machine.
