Here's 25 interesting things, some funny and some not so funny, that you could find out when you have sons ...
1. A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 square foot 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 foot 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 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 wirhout kids.
25. 80% of men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid.

Haaaaaaa! With that big water bed that you have it would not be a good idea to show them the list, :-O LOL. This is definately not meant for kids to see, LOL. We all know that they can come up with their own ideas without all of us giving them more, LOL. Thanks for your response.

I didn't experience a lot of these situations with my son either, but he did come up with some of his own things that were hilarious, LOL. Thanks for your response.

Here are a couple to add to that list. An apple doesn't always go down the toilet on the first 3 or 4 flushes, it does on the 5th and stays there.
A bowling ball is not meant to be used in the bathroom. Use of the bathroom as a bowling alley will cause the toilet split its sides from laughing or from having the ball hit it.

Hi Greengal, it is funny. This is only a very short list of what it's like to have sons, LOL. Maybe you will find out someday. I only have one son and he was a handful, like having ten boys sometimes, LOL. Now he is grown up with a daughter and hopes someday to have a son. For him it will be 'what goes around, comes around', LOL.

I think it had to be written by a woman too, LOL. My son didn't do a lot of these things but he did do his share of other stuff LOL. One thing for sure, boys will be boys, and what they can think of is totally different than what a girl would think of doing, LOL.

New Healthcare Techniques
A man goes to visit his 85-year-old grandpa in hospital."How are you grandpa?
he asks.
"Feeling fine," says the old man.
"What's the food like?"
"Terrific, wonderful menus."
"And the nursing?"
"Just couldn't be better. These young nurses really take care of you."
"What about sleeping? Do you sleep OK?"
"No problem, nine hours solid every night. At 10 o'clock they bring me a cup
of hot chocolate and a Viagra tablet ... and that's it.
I go out like a light."
The grandson is puzzled and a little alarmed by this, so rushes off to
question the Sister in charge. "What are you people doing,"he says, "I'm told
you're giving an 85-year-old Viagra on a daily basis. Surely that can't be
true?"
"Oh, yes," replies the Sister. "Every night at 10 o'clock we give him a cup of
hot chocolate and a Viagra tablet. It works wonderfully well. The
chocolate makes him sleep, and the Viagra stops him from rolling out of bed.
