What Boys Are Known For

[Cheshire Figment]

And you also 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. 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 microwave 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. VCR's 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.

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.

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

Sweet! I'm going to try that one! :D:

Since I have been invited to help out at scout camp next year...I have a few NEW ideas!!!


hehehehehe

[DisneyMom]

I can add a couple......
It is a good idea to learn how to snake the toilet in preparation for the next time the kid's plastic dinosaurs end up down there.....
The stopper to the tub can be found there, too......
buy the cheapest shampoo as it is fun to make bubbles with it and smear it on the walls....
Child-safety locks for the toilet and fridge are only a minorly delaying obstacle....
Trust your instincts....If you get up at 2 am with a compelling urge to go to the kitchen, it means the 2 year old is up eating an entire gallon of Rocky Road....
If you are on the phone for more than five minutes, it is time to make sure the kitchen is not on fire or they are not trying to give the hamster a shot....
If you do not have extra locks on the doors, your kids are in the road....
It is a good idea to remove the knobs from the stove and lock the fridge inside of the garage,with a lock that needs a key to open it from the INSIDE of the house....
If it is raining and about time to leave for work after you drop the kids at the sitter's, you can find them in the backyard playing in the mud

I'm in the 20% that have known that since about age 10...

That and a lot of styrofoam dissolved in gasoline will make a crude form of napalm..

Plastic bags when wrapped around a stick and set on fire make this neat "viiiip viiiip viiiip" noise as the plastic melts and drips off..

Peeps put into the microwave expand to about 6 times their normal size.. (about the only thing those nasty marshmallow abominations are good for).

You read my mind.

Yes! Yes! Yes! That's the best!

Little vinyl figurines of Mickey Mouse melt real good in the micro! We used to call 'em microwave toys!

[Ms. Matterhorn]

Put vinegar into a bottle that has a cork. Wrap baking soda in a square of paper towel and drop into vinegar. Replace cork. Stand clear. Ha ha ha!

You can also attach ribbons and stuff to the cork for a special effect! My son and I used to do this when he was sick and home from school. I didn't learn about mentos and diet coke until many years later! :D: :D: :D:

5 year Webelos Camp Counselor here. It's how I got the job at DLR before I left.

Here's a few for ya:

1) Don't keep 9 Volt batteries near steel wool. If you don't believe me, loosely pull apart some steel wool and brush it against the + and - terminals of the battery. And get ready for the flame up.
This is also how they did the smoldering Reaper bodies in Blade 2.

2) How would we start our closing campfires? Pool shock and brake fluid. 2:1 ratio. Pour them into a cup, and after 30-45 seconds, it's like the back of the Batmobile. However, this was 11 years ago, and I've heard rumor say that they've changed the composition of the pool shock so you can't do that any more.

3) Those cheap cheesy little "Hot Spark" kits that they sell in the trading post? Yeah. Those can really start fires.

Just a few things out there for ya.
