Children - be warned...... (Joke)

For those with No children - this is totally hysterical! For those who already have children past this age - this is hilarious. For those who have children at this age - this is not funny. For those who have children nearing this age - this is a warning. For those who have not yet had children - this is a form of birth control! The following came from an anonymous Mother in Austin, Texas: "Things I've learned from my Children (honest & no kidding):" 1. A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 3 bedroom house about 4 inches deep. 2. If you spray hair spray on a nylon duster and then run over it with roller skates / blades, they can ignite. 3. A 3-year olds 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 large room. 5. You should not throw balls up when the ceiling fan is on, using the ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can then hit a ball a long way. 6. The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a ball 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 Bleach makes smoke, and lots of it. 9. A six-year old 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 bits of Lego will pass through the digestive tract of a 4-year old. 11. Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence. 12. Super glue is forever. 13. No matter how much Jelly you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water. 14. Pool filters do not like Jelly. 15. VCR's do not eject toasted sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do. 16. Garbage bags do not make good parachutes. 17. Marbles in petrol tanks make lots of noise when driving and are very expensive to remove. 18. You probably do not want to know what that smell really is. 19. Always look in the oven before you turn it on. Plastic toys do not like ovens. 20. The average response time for the fire brigade is about 20 minutes. 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. The mind of a 6-year old is a wonderful and amazing thing. 25. 60% of men who read this will try mixing the bleach and brake fluid............

rofpmsl Lindy There won't be many parents that hav'nt experienced some of those. Lost count of the little soldiers etc in the VCR, my son even did his own tribal markings on his face, by heating up a fork on the gas cooker and then pressing it onto his cheek, 20 years later he still has a slight scar.

aaaaggghhhhh My boys are only 1 and 3 so I've most of this to come!!!!!!!!!! Surely MY angels would NEVER do anything like this??!! No, they just smear an ENTIRE jar of zinc and caster oil baby cream over themselves and my dark blue living room carpet, crayon over the walls, windows, tv etc, took a knife to the newly painted landing walls and took off big chunks of paint, throw stones at my car and leave a great dent on the bonnet. And that's just for starters! Joanne
