Dutch posted this in Sandy's blog but I thought I'd bring it on over here because I am having a boy and no doubt I have tons of fun stuff to look forward to. Like for instance my roommate's three year old little boy has just enlightened me to the fact that shoving an entire bar of soap down the sink drain will in fact clog it up no matter how much you plunge and pour hot water down it! Lucky for me they are moving out next week! I need time to adjust to my own impending boy adventures!

RAISING BOYS

a) For those who have grown children - this is totally
hysterical!
b) For those who have children past this age, this is
hilarious.
c) For those who have children this age, this is not
funny.
d) For those who have children nearing this age, this
is a warning.
e) For those who have not yet had children, this is
birth control.

The following came from an anonymous mother in Austin,
Texas (and even if it is not, it still is funny.)

Things I've learned from my boys honest and not
kidding:

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. However,
it is strong enough, if tied to a paint can, to spread
paint 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 hit by a ceiling fan.

7.) When you hear the toilet flush and the words
"uh-oh", it's already too 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 microwaves 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.) VCRs 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. Do you know yours?

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

22.) It will, however, make cats dizzy.

23.) Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.

24.) 80% of women will pass this on to almost all of
their friends, with or without kids.

25.) 80% of men who read this will try mixing the
Clorox and brake fluid
