Thought this was funny:



RAISING BOYS
>
>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:
>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. 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.

I had 2 brothers, and we grew up on a dairy in Windthorst. ( my wife would debate whether i grew up or not)

That post makes me feel like I was normal! My tough lessons:

we used to play Cowboys and Indians with live ammo( my older brothers were sorry shots,thank the Lord) and i always got the BBgun, and I would pop em and then get in trouble.

If you play Rambo in a hayfield, using roman candles and bottle rockets, it will burn for awhile.

if you tie two cats together with a string to their tails and hang them over the clothesline, they will fight like hell.

if , when playing "pickle"(baseball game) with Mom, and you chase her into a cow pie, you will get in deep shi* too

if you're gonna get your Mom to eat froglegs, don't show her the whole frog before you clean it.

Never, never throw firecrackers in a dairy barn full of cows, even if both of your brothers dare you to.

It's not a good idea, as a 7 year old, to walk accross the new barn foundation "to see if it's hard yet"

lastly, hairspray cans(the old aerosol kind) will shoot like a rocket out of a 50 gallon drum, when you are burning trash, but not until Dad is looking out the window after he told you to take them out of the trash.

I read some of these things that I've never tried, but they sure seem like a lot of fun. Slorch, I took in the grotto scene outside of the church in Windthorst on Wednesday night.

The prettiest small church I have been around.
If you have a chance, go see them play this coming fall. it's different because it's 1A, but Windthorst is a SLC or LP or Katy in its own right.

My little man is in this stage. Let's just say he's been giving my wife hell. I'm gonna have to have a man to man talk with him now that she's pregnant. It's time for him to grow out of this destructive phase.

Put a package of alka seltzer in a plastic water bottle & it will blow up good! Drop a bowling ball out of a 3-4 story window onto a sidewalk & it will bounce like a superball!..Until it hits a car...:eek:

No matter how far or high you throw your cat he will still land on his feet.
