Interesting facts you find out when you have sons:
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.

long way.

7.) When you hear the toilet flush and the words "uh oh", it's already too late.

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.
1 6.) 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.

Ok & this part is written by my own mother (my siblings & myself actually did this.. :P)
A watermelon will EXPLODE if filled with enough fireworks and ignited. To smithereens. A 40 foot radius. So will army men, toy cars, pumpkins, coke cans, etc, etc, etc. (my older brother did most of these)
A spongy ball filled with red koolaid will leave a permanent stain on a brand new house's carport ceiling if bounced hard enough.
Small boys will urinate on ANYTHING that slows down long enough for them to catch and on some things that won't.
Spongy bath letters will disintegrate and put off a deadly gas if thrown into a toilet that has a bleach tablet in the tank.
Barbeque briquets are poisonous if eaten. So is toothpaste (a large dose), dishwasher powder, iron vitamins, etc, etc.
Poke Salet berries are extremely poisonous - even one will hospitalize a small boy. (yeah that one was fun...)
One bottle of Log Cabin syrup can cover several rooms of carpet. So can one large container of Baby Powder. And amazingly, so can one small cup of chocolate milk - if shook hard enough the chocolate milk can also coat the walls and ceiling pretty well.
When the Sharpie says Indelible, it means it. (i dont' remember this one....kinna)

Girls jumping on watered down trampolines may need stitches and/or limb braces.
Roller blading is guaranteed to break bones, sometimes the same bones, over and over again.
If it has a hole in it, a small boy will attempt to stick something in it. This includes switchplates.
