I think I’m glad Mom got out when she did. What happened to Weighdown? Maybe this is old news, but I heard this clip on the radio this morning and was amazed.

Boys will be boys… February 16, 2007

Filed under: Blog — The Cool One @ 2:44 am

Someone sent me this and I got tickled by a lot of it but the funniest was that the very last line was true.

THE TRUTH ABOUT RAISING BOYS
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 20×20 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.

Well done! February 14, 2007

We had no idea of any Biblical scene when we posted the last picture. We were just curious to see how creative our family was and let me say that I was not let down. A few of the comments had me in stitches (ex. verses quoted were very funny….VERY funny…also from the extended family and the annoying neighborhood kid had some good ones…nice call Nosepicker on exasperating your child…and let’s not forget mom seeing this as a scene from David and Bathsheba…wow, this was a real personal shocker for me) To reward you all I have changed the theme to something a little grassier.
